More quotes by Aubrey Plaza
I'm going to create my own opportunities. If I can't find the roles I want, I'll just make them.
Aubrey Plaza
I'm like that person who hates going to magic shows - and I love magic, I love wizards - but going to a show where there is any possibility of audience participation is a nightmare for me.
Aubrey Plaza
I love great acting, as nerdy as that sounds.

I want to go to New Zealand. I have no idea what it's like, and in my head, everyone lives in/on an ice lake, so I'd like to come stay.
Aubrey Plaza
When you improvise, you work off the laughs from the audience, but when you step on stage to do standup, it's silent.
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
I sold my soul to the devil. I'd like to thank the devil.
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

Aubrey Plaza
If I have the option, I always read the paper or a book or something I can touch and destroy in my own hands.
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
It would be hilarious if I worked in a bowling alley.
Aubrey Plaza
My people would love it if I smiled more, if I was more 'approachable.'
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
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
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
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
Make all your decisions based on how hilarious it would be if you did it.
Aubrey Plaza
My mom's Puerto Rican. That's why I'm so lively and colorful.
Aubrey Plaza
I've always wanted to do all kinds of roles, dramatic roles and comedic roles, all kinds of roles.
