I like playing sort-of-crazy people. There’s something really, really fun about that.
Do your eye shadow first, then your foundation. That way, you can clean up any mess without starting all over again.
There’s nothing like having a great friends when you see them, you get that joy – that you can’t really compare it with anything else.
Especially in comedies, I think a lot of time the female characters are there to provide a balance for guys.
Everyone needs a theme song! It should make you feel like a million dollars.
Everyone romanticizes somebody.
My sister and I do to what we love to do and do what we want to do, so that sort of started us off having a sense of ‘Do this because you love it’ not ‘Do this because you want to be famous.’ IGN Logo.
If ‘New Girl’ had been a movie, I don’t know whether I would have been given the opportunity to do it.
For some reason, people look at me and laugh. I don’t know why.
I did go through this period where girls would be mean and I had a lot of guy friends. But I’ve found as an adult the importance of having female and male friends.
I am always early to work but sometimes late to other things.
I think that if you haven’t been to the grocery store in a really long time, it’s really easy to get very out of touch.
I think my knowledge of music theory is rooted in jazz theory, and a lot of the writers of standards – Rodgers and Hart, and Gershwin.
If you can make a character likable that’s not very nice, that’s the challenge of the job.
I played a lot of sarcastic, wisecracking characters for a long time, and people would think that was me. And it’s very much not me, and then people would think I was being sarcastic when I wasn’t: ‘Oh, you’re making fun of me right now.’ And I wasn’t!
Making movies, you’re like an independent contractor – you come in, you have a specific job, and a lot of what you do is completely manipulated, which is good and bad.
My biggest complaint with tights is that they do not accommodate skinny-ankled people like myself.
I like a lot of old films, I like a lot old music, and a lot of it has to do with the fact that I like the idea of knowing what happens before, so that I can understand it.
My mom told me when I get compliments to cover my ears.
It’s not about women acting like man, it’s about women acting like woman and being sucsessful.
