- I'd never really done comedy before Community (2009), 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 had some years of definite frustration. Auditioning and not working as much as I would have liked to, or working and being paid a pittance, and sort of scrounging by in New York and sleeping on a chair that folded out into a bed.
- I'm not conservative, but I am kind of clean living in my own life.
- I like the 'Moth' podcast a lot. I listen to that.
- It's really amazing to be a part of something that people have an emotional response to, even though it's a network sitcom. When you get a chance to meet fans or interact with them, you realize that there are a lot of people who the show speaks to, and that they really get something out of it, beyond just laughing. That's really fulfilling.
- The nice part about not being a huge film is that you get to goof around a bit more.
- Things are never simple when it comes to the human heart.
- There's no right one way to go through life.
- As you can tell by my IMDb page, I like to work.
- Accept your failure, move on, and don't torture yourself.
- A friend of mine wrote a script, a feminist romantic comedy. She had a feminist scholar consult on it. My friend said, "Oh, my friend Gillian read it and really loved it." She goes, "Gillian Jacobs, you mean: Britta Perry, feminist icon?"
- People are disappointed when they meet me. I'm not funny and I don't party.
- I think surprising myself constitutes a good day at work. In a scene, it's whenever you can feel like you gave a performance that you didn't anticipate, but feels right for the scene, the character, the story and everything.
