Alison Brie
I feel like any time John Oliver is added to something, the comedy is instantly there. He's so funny.Collection: Funny
I'm really not a TV junkie... OK, I kind of am a TV junkie, but I'm much more of a movie junkie - my junk food is romantic comedies I've seen a million times.Collection: Romantic
A wedding, people decide to get married, it comes out of such love for one another and then women can turn into these other people. They're planning something that's the biggest event they'll ever plan in their lives and it turns them into this other person, so it's not totally the guy's fault that he's feeling disconnected from this person.Collection: Wedding
A lot of people come to Los Angeles and think that they're going to be famous, just like that.Collection: Famous
I think it's never too late to learn - or it's a lesson that's good to continue learning - that you need to treat everyone on a set with respect.
I always wanted to play a mental patient. I was fascinated with playing crazy people in college, and I don't know if I ever quite perfected it.
Honestly, my favorite kind of dancing is just lettin' loose. There's something great about the carefree flinging of your body to great music. It can be so joyous.
I think that a big part of comedy is being made fun of, and it is looking silly or looking stupid.
You wanna do a lot of backstory for your character - as an actor, you wanna research that. But on the show, it's fun to remain in that naive place as you go along, and be able to continue to discover things about your character as the writers come up with them.
I'm a generally optimistic person.
I enjoy doing drama, and I enjoy doing comedy equally.
You know, 'Mad Men' is notoriously secretive with its plotlines, even with exposing them to actors on the show.
I look really good in a scuba suit.
I've always loved film and wanted to work in film. I just love working and creating new characters, and trying different genres and different things.
Ted Danson is amazing. He's incredible.
'30 Rock' is probably one of my favorite shows. It's just joke after joke after joke.
I was always a bit of a jokester.
Twitter is the first information that I ingest in the morning. When there are important things happening, friends of mine who follow news feeds will report on it, so I find out about most major news on Twitter.
I like to have my breakfast in bed, and I use that time to watch the recorded shows on my TiVo. I seldom watch shows in real time - I'm always at work.
I kind of love going to weddings - it's a guilty pleasure. I've never been the wedding-y type girl dreaming about the big day, the dress, but I always cry. Always. Even if I don't know the bride that well, I'm verklempt!
I like that 'Mad Men' is now an adjective I use to describe clothing when I'm shopping: 'I like this top. It's very 'Mad Men.'
What is it about women that they just go right for the guy that totally repulses them?
In my personal life, I'm hilarious! I was always a bit of a jokester.
I've always loved film and wanted to work in film. I just love working and creating new characters, and trying different genres and different things. For me, I just love to work and I love movies.
I think Twitter is such a cool thing because it really is a direct line to the fans and for fans back to you, and it's such a new thing. I think in the past there's been usually fan mail and that's really good, but Twitter, it gets an immediate response.
I love Jason Bateman. He's so funny.
Your opinion is not influenced by anyone when you're alone at a matinee. It's just you and the movie.
Money means better meals at better places.
If you're a guy, you should get girls flowers all the time. They never get old and you can never get them enough. I'm never disappointed when I get flowers. I always thought guys who don't buy women flowers are such fools. All it takes is one. A little goes a long way with flowers.
I like to be in pain when I'm getting massaged. That way I know I'm getting my money's worth.
I try to be very much in control when it comes to work. I have a strong work ethic.
I get pigeonholed into type-A personality characters, but I'm really not type A. I'm kind of a spaz.
I don't know much about writing a show or being a show-runner on a show, but I can only imagine that when you first cast a show and you first do a pilot, there are so many components that you're throwing into the mix and you're not sure how they're going to develop.
I think it's important to be honest with yourself about what you want and it's important to be honest with your partner about what you need.
I think I used to be lower maintenance. I think I'm slowly becoming higher maintenance.
My parents are definitely reformed hippies.
My first TV job was on an episode of 'Hannah Montana'... Since then, I've been fortunate to end up on shows that are just such a high quality, where the writing and material is incredible.
I don't think being flawed is a bad thing for a character... nor do I think it's a bad thing for a person in life, because that's how we all are.Collection: Character
There's a lot of opportunities for scene-stealing if you're a dog.Collection: Dog
I enjoy doing drama, and I enjoy doing comedy equally. They're both amazing to me, and it's such an honor to be recognized for both genres, and to have the opportunity to work on shows of such great caliber in both genres. So, you know, it's easy to do both.Collection: Drama
Alien is one of my favourite films. I'm a classic horror fan. It's a tough one for me, because I get scared quite easily.Collection: Fans
I had been reading a lot of pilots. It was pilot season and I had decided, in my mind, that I wanted to do another show, but the bar had already been set so high, having working on Mad Men and Community, that I was really particular. I was looking for something really specific, but I didn't even know exactly what that was. When I read 'Glow', it just checked every box.Collection: Reading
I think most of the time with independent films, you don't know where it's gonna end up. I've done a number of films that may never see the light of day, so it ends up being exclusively about the content, material, the characters and the story. Things that you maybe wouldn't get an opportunity to do otherwise. So, as an actor, obviously it's so different.Collection: Character
30 Rock is probably one of my favorite shows. It's just joke after joke after joke.Collection: Rocks
Obviously, the 'Glow' show is a real feminist story. I knew it would be about female empowerment, and that was really exciting to me. Having some distance on a period show, I think you can really delve into those kinds of political topics in an in-depth way, and a lot of that reverberates today.Collection: Real
I like that 'Mad Men' is now an adjective I use to describe clothing when I'm shopping: 'I like this top. It's very 'Mad Men.''Collection: Men
