I keep reminding myself, through all the ups and downs of ‘Community,’ that I might never have another job that really means something to people the way ‘Community’ means something to people. That’s more powerful...

‘The New Yorker’s fiction podcast I like a lot, where they have authors pick short stories by other authors that appeared in ‘The New Yorker.’

My mom wouldn’t know Tom Cruise if he punched her in the face.

You have to have an awareness of where you’re going, what the event is, what you’re promoting, and who the audience is. That always informs the way you dress.

I am very up front about about my inability to pronounce things correctly.

I would love it if ‘Community’ could have a trajectory like ’30 Rock’ and choose when to go out.

Hey, I’m nothing but honest!

I am short, so even if there are things that I like, or like on other people, I have to be aware that sometimes that won’t work on me because I’m not 5’10. It has...

I’m a very law-abiding citizen, and I’ve never consciously broken any law. I get nervous just jaywalking in Los Angeles!

It’s really nice when life comes full circle and you get to work with people four years down the line.

I like passionate fandom.

I went to college and got my degree in acting, but because it was all theater, I really consider my first couple years on ‘Mad Men’ as amazing training for working in television and for...

My inners are not organs. They’re actually mechanics, so I have a hole in my back, wind me up like the movie ‘Hugo,’ and then just say, ‘Act,’ you know?

I think you just have to take everything that happens on a TV show with a grain of salt. You sign up for a show for six years having zero idea where they’re going to...

There are these important things in some people’s lives that can make you laugh even when you’re going through a tough time or a stressful week.

They didn’t really encourage my goofy, comedic side at Juilliard.

I feel like so often I’m just, like, running around and eating in the car, which is, like, not good, or eating as I’m walking down the street.

I’d say I’ve gone to grad school for comedy being on ‘Community.’

I always had an easier time with adults. Somehow, I was always old! I still feel old.

I had kissed a girl in the second season of ‘Community,’ but that was my first time kissing a girl ever, and I was so nervous, I almost knocked Brit Marling’s teeth out.

I’m not conservative, but I am kind of clean living in my own life.

Ken Jeong might be my biggest fan.

I love Opening Ceremony, Kenzo – anything Humberto Leon and Carol Lim touch. I drool over Christopher Kane, Mary Katrantzou, Delpozo, and Wes Gordon.

I’d never really done comedy before ‘Community,’ so getting to work day in and day out with all these great people, directors, writers, and actors, I feel like I’ve learned a lot.

I think maybe my mom thought that Katharine Hepburn would be a good role model of, like, a strong, smart, independent woman. Maybe she steered me in that direction. You know, because she was really...

I’m spending way too much time test running my Vine videos. I’ll go into a room and close the door and be in there for an hour workshopping a Vine video that I never even...

There is a great degree of comfort with your family when you’re on a TV show.

We’re all alone in this world.

We’re all slight hypocrites who fall short of our ideals.

I’m a Bravoholic, and I love ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race.’

I always want to do something I haven’t done before and get to work with other actors, writers, or directors that I want to work with.

A lot of people I went to college with felt like they wanted to pursue theater exclusively, so I don’t think that I really was in competition with people that I went to school with.

It really does mean so much when your cast mates, who you respect so much, tell you that you made them laugh.

My grandfather can barely even hear, and Chevy Chase makes a face, and he laughs.

I never thought I would be in a comedic role; my past is in drama.

I’m really excited that ‘The Other Woman’ did so well at the box office, and I hope that will keep encouraging people to make movies about women, starring women, about female friendships. More. Please.
