There were definitely bands and musicians I liked that drove my mother insane. I probably liked them all the more for it! Bjork drove my mom nuts. What I listened to was actually pretty mom-friendly for the most part. I wasn’t very rebellious. – Gillian Jacobs
I’ve gotten super into restaurants in L.A., so I try to go to different restaurants all the time… that’s a good way to explore L.A.: you can drive to a restaurant and discover a new neighborhood. – Gillian Jacobs
I think I signed some contract, early on in my career, that I will only kiss Steve Carell when I do a movie. – Gillian Jacobs
In my sort of young, idealistic mind, I was just like, ‘Well, it’s either theater or film for me, and that will be that!’ – Gillian Jacobs
I think when you have some success as a kid, your notion of being a good actor is pleasing the director, doing exactly what they tell you to do. – Gillian Jacobs
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. – Gillian Jacobs
Even something as stupid as Vine videos makes you feel like you’re making things on your own. – Gillian Jacobs
I know other actors who are relieved when their shows get cancelled, and I’ve never felt that way about ‘Community.’ – Gillian Jacobs
‘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. – Gillian Jacobs
No actor wants to choose – they just want all of the options available to them all the time; we tend to be pretty greedy. – Gillian Jacobs
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. – Gillian Jacobs
I’m a pretty goofy person. I’m an awkward dancer, for instance, and a terrible singer. – Gillian Jacobs
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? – Gillian Jacobs
Thinking back about throwing myself at certain gentlemen that had no interest in me, that’ll bring a blush to my face if I think about it too often. – Gillian Jacobs
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 to have a shape for my body; otherwise, I look like I am two inches tall. I have to wear things that skim my body more closely than a runway model would. – Gillian Jacobs
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. – Gillian Jacobs
I’ve always thought – and I don’t even know if I’d be right for the part – that Jean Seberg would make a great biopic. She was in Jean-Luc Godard’s ‘Breathless,’ she played Joan of Arc. She had this eventful and traumatic adulthood, she thought the FBI was after her, and she became a darling of the French New Wave. – Gillian Jacobs
You can only do so many serious dramas in a row before you want to break. You want a change. – Gillian Jacobs
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. – Gillian Jacobs
You’re always looking to have a unique experience as an actor, and definitely, being punched by a puppet ranks as a singular experience in my career. – Gillian Jacobs
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. – Gillian Jacobs
