I can't tell you the number of people that are like, 'Has anyone ever told you you look like a blonde Liv Tyler?' And at this point, I'm like, 'Yes... yes, I've been told that.' I mean, she's beautiful. It's not like I'm not totally flattered by it, but then again, I think I look like myself.
Gillian Jacobs
We're all alone in this world.
Like, I'm hyper-conscious about going to bed on time, and doing my seven-step skin care routine at night.
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 so ahead of her time.
'Fresh Air' I listen to, like, every day.
Ken Jeong might be my biggest fan.
I think if I was in over 250 films, the world would get pretty sick of me. I would probably never get put in anything ever again.
Boy, you know, it's amazing how your brain can turn into a sieve, and you can literally forget episodes that you have shot.
Acting by yourself is pretty darn hard, especially having to do physical comedy.
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.
College is expensive; I always knew that, and I wanted to make money, partially to spend a little of it here and there, but primarily for a college savings fund.
I'm a very law-abiding citizen, and I've never consciously broken any law. I get nervous just jaywalking in Los Angeles!
You can convey a lot of emotion with just some eyebrows and mouth movement.
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 than ratings.
Craig Robinson is basically the mayor of wherever he goes.
I don't like yelling insults at someone who's never done anything to me.
I have a hard time watching people getting punched on screen; I have to close my eyes a lot.
A lot of my friends are guys, so I'm used to bro antics.
In Los Angeles, sometimes it's hard to find a magazine stand, let alone one that has the magazine that you want. So I find that the longer I live in L.A., the more digitally I consume.
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 go with the character, so you just have to get on the ride of the show and go with wherever they take you.
Actors get bored.
I say the word N-U-C-L-E-R the same way that George W. Bush says it.
As you can tell by my IMDB page, I like to work.
I would love it if 'Community' could have a trajectory like '30 Rock' and choose when to go out.
I did live in New York. Yeah, I moved to L.A. for 'Community.' And I gave up my apartment in New York.
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 post. So that's probably a huge time suck.
The more attention you give to your negative feelings, the more they grow, so I think things just start to blow totally out of proportion.
For me, I really love 'Tim and Eric' and 'Dr. Steve Brule' and a lot of the Adult Swim shows, so I like strange, weird, sometimes slightly upsetting humor.
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?'
I'm not really a rapper!
I think that there are a lot of really beautiful Christmas carols, and then sometimes there are horrible renditions of them that are played to death in malls that make me sad. I try to avoid stores where they're playing bad versions of Christmas songs on repeat.
I'm a Bravoholic, and I love 'RuPaul's Drag Race.'
'The Comeback' is my favorite TV show of all-time because it's just brill. It's Lisa Kudrow's show about what it's like to be an actor on a TV show. She's so amazing on it.
My mom wouldn't let me buy clothes she didn't like, so I dressed like a middle-aged woman in high school.
I'd say I've gone to grad school for comedy being on 'Community.'
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.
'Dancing on My Own' is actually a really sad song! It has totally made me cry.
I've always wanted to work with Elizabeth Banks. She's so talented and funny, and she's become this force of nature - directing, producing. Being around her is kind of inspiring.
I feel like I go through cycles as an actress.
It really does mean so much when your cast mates, who you respect so much, tell you that you made them laugh.
I think I signed some contract, early on in my career, that I will only kiss Steve Carell when I do a movie.
I feel like the Internet has embraced the pizza dance. I feel appreciated for once in my life.
Apparently, I have good feet for ballet.
I am wrestling with the overalls trend. I wore so many pairs in junior high, and no one thought they were cute. Perhaps I'll try them cuffed with a tasteful crop top?
Hey, I'm nothing but honest!
No actor wants to choose - they just want all of the options available to them all the time; we tend to be pretty greedy.
I haven't ever seen 'Lost'... I'm sorry.
My poor, problematic feet don't let me wear anything much over a three- or four-inch heel.
I never pursued anything but acting. But as a kid, I was really interested in the Supreme Court. I wanted to to be a Supreme Court justice, but didn't want to be a lawyer. I just wanted to go straight to being a justice.
I like passionate fandom.
