Zitat des Tages von Rashida Jones:
I remember being a kid and seeing the 'National Inquirer' at the grocery store checkout line. When somebody actually picked up a copy, it was mortifying. You felt dirty for them. But now it's perfectly acceptable to read something like that. There's absolutely no taboo surrounding that kind of exploitation.
I'm a comedy geek so anything comedy related, whether that's standup shows, improv shows, I'm all over that. That's my favorite way to be entertained always.
Spy plots are hard, really hard.
In my twenties I would be skeptical of a bad haircut, but once you turn thirty it's more about whether he a nice person and does he open the door for me. Once you turn thirty-five, it's more about would he make a good father. And even if you're just liking somebody and digging on someone, I think you can't help but think in those terms.
Chemotherapy is brutal. The goal is pretty much to kill everything in your body without killing you.
I probably wouldn't be acting if I didn't grow up in Hollywood.
I kind of understand now why people freak out when they see celebrities that they love, because that's how I feel about every single Muppet.
I would be an idiot to say comedy is easy, but it does come naturally. It never feels forced.
In 2002 Mom and I got a chance to act together in a play called 'Pitching to the Star,' with her brother, Robert Lipton. The three of us on the same stage - that was such a special experience for me.
People are not enjoying life because they're trying to be something or brand themselves.
I'm lucky because I have so many clashing cultural, racial things going on: black, Jewish, Irish, Portuguese, Cherokee. I can float and be part of any community I want.
I love going to weddings.
I have six brothers and sisters. We all look totally different: blonde hair, curly hair, green eyes, dark eyes, dark skin, light skin. It's just how it is.
You know, I definitely have an inclination to work in the public sector.
I have to say, you know, I've seen so many people go through the cycle and become famous and not famous anymore and, you know, want - have their priorities change and want different things.
I tend to leave the house without makeup all the time. I'm kind of lazy that way.
I don't think any other emotion is the equivalent of laughter. So I do whatever I can to laugh all the time and to hide my pain.
Music breaks my heart constantly.
I have a father who came from nothing and conquered the world. The last thing I'm going to do is sit here and spend his money and try to look pretty. That's not interesting to me at all.
I think anybody who has had a long relationship and has had a really hard time letting go, wants to feel like it's not all for naught, and it's meaningful, because it makes you who you are.
I have no issues with my identity.
Auditioning is the worst.
I know my mom said as early as she can remember letting me watch TV, my one treat a week when I was like 6 was to stay up and watch 'Saturday Night Live.'
Mom is the most unconditionally loving person I will ever know, and she has always supported me on every level.
Women have been interesting forever.
It's such a fortunate life, if you can work as an actor.
A question I get asked a lot is 'What is it like to play the straight guy all the time?' And I'm totally okay with it.
Ads featuring real women and real beauty are such a necessary component to offset the potentially dangerous programming out there for little girls.
I can fall asleep anywhere.
I think there's just an inherent burden of being alive and being a woman. No man would ever admit that, but I think women know it, which is: You know more than men, you know more than most people you're dealing with every day, and you know that's it up to you to make things move forward, and you get paid half as much, but you just do it.
People still go to Comic-Con because they love comics.
Timing is everything with relationships.
I know what it's like to have my heart broken. It is not adorable.
I know that in life there will be sickness, devastation, disappointments, heartache - it's a given. What's not a given is the way you choose to get through it all. If you look hard enough, you can always find the bright side.
I love romantic comedies. I have a deep respect for them. I think they're really difficult to write and write well.
I'm generally a pretty friendly person.
