Once you do a character in Hollywood and people haven't seen you before, they put you in a box and they think that's all that you can do and it's hard to get people to take a risk on you.

More quotes by Aubrey Plaza
With stand-up, it doesn't matter who you are. If the audience claps because they love your movies, that clapping stops after five seconds, and then it's your job to make them laugh.
Aubrey Plaza
Louis C. K. is one of my all time favorite standup comedians.
Aubrey Plaza
There are always parts of me that come out in the characters that I play - it's the only thing I have to work with and to draw off of.
Aubrey Plaza
I think it's nice to get a break from all of the big Hollywood comic book action-movies and see something that's relatable and funny and interesting.
Aubrey Plaza
My grandfather came over from Puerto Rico and raised his kids speaking English so that it would be easier for them to assimilate.
Aubrey Plaza
My mom's Puerto Rican. That's why I'm so lively and colorful.
Aubrey Plaza
I like my name. My mom named me after a song by the 1970s group Bread. So, it's meaningful, and I like the song. It's a love song - kind of - but it's kind of depressing and dark.
Aubrey Plaza
Make all your decisions based on how hilarious it would be if you did it.
Aubrey Plaza
I have a way of dealing with situations where I come off awkward, or people think I’m purposely trying to make things uncomfortable. But normally I’m talking really slowly or there’s a lot of silence because there’s just nothing going on. I’m just totally freaking out, but from the outside perspective it looks like I’m in control.
Aubrey Plaza
It would be hilarious if I worked in a bowling alley.
Aubrey Plaza
A lot of independent films offer a harsh reality check.
Aubrey Plaza
I've had experiences in my life where I've met certain people that have opened up something in me and given me hope and a new outlook on life.
Aubrey Plaza
Improv is so different, it's such a collaborative thing, you're working with other people, nothing is planned and it's kind of this community mentality, whereas stand-up, you're alone and it was really hard.
Aubrey Plaza
After you have 250,000 people watching your stuff every day, obviously you're going to have a few people who are going to get a little bit obsessed with your content. But I've never experienced it in a negative way. Perhaps that's because I'm lucky. I guess for some people, they experience it in a negative way and that's how the movie portrayed it.
Aubrey Plaza
I think being on a TV show is amazing but also, people get kind of used to seeing you a certain way and so it becomes a challenge to break free from that in a way.
Aubrey Plaza
I love great acting, as nerdy as that sounds.
Aubrey Plaza
My people would love it if I smiled more, if I was more 'approachable.'
Aubrey Plaza
I would never do a commercial for something that is embarrassing, and I think that people maybe have a different perspective on what is embarrassing or not. Some people think doing a Revlon hair commercial is really cool. To me, that's embarrassing, but World of Warcraft: not embarrassing, very cool.
Aubrey Plaza
When I was doing comedy in New York, before I was in movies, I was never known as the deadpan actress. I was just a comedienne.
Aubrey Plaza
Tina Fey is one of my heroes.
