Alison Brie quotes about
30 Rock' is probably one of my favorite shows. It's just joke after joke after joke.
A lot of people come to Los Angeles and think that they're going to be famous, just like that.
I always wanted to play a mental patient. I was fascinated with playing crazy people in college, and I don't know if I ever quite perfected it.
I don't think being flawed is a bad thing for a character... nor do I think it's a bad thing for a person in life, because that's how we all are.
I enjoy doing drama, and I enjoy doing comedy equally.
I feel like any time John Oliver is added to something, the comedy is instantly there. He's so funny.
I like to be in pain when I'm getting massaged. That way I know I'm getting my money's worth.
I think most of the time with independent films, you don't know where it's gonna end up. I've done a number of films that may never see the light of day, so it ends up being exclusively about the content, material, the characters and the story. Things that you maybe wouldn't get an opportunity to do otherwise. So, as an actor, obviously it's so different.
Honestly, my favorite kind of dancing is just lettin' loose. There's something great about the carefree flinging of your body to great music. It can be so joyous.
I get pigeonholed into type-A personality characters, but I'm really not type A. I'm kind of a spaz.
I think it's important to be honest with yourself about what you want and it's important to be honest with your partner about what you need.
I don't know much about writing a show or being a show-runner on a show, but I can only imagine that when you first cast a show and you first do a pilot, there are so many components that you're throwing into the mix and you're not sure how they're going to develop.
Twitter is the first information that I ingest in the morning. When there are important things happening, friends of mine who follow news feeds will report on it, so I find out about most major news on Twitter.
I was always a bit of a jokester.
