I loved the domesticity of my life as a struggling actor. When I wasn't going to auditions, I could do things like cook dishes from scratch and take them to parties or be really thoughtful about birthdays and anniversaries.

More quotes by Jenna Fischer
I don't have real big aspirations to be a movie star. I would love to be on a long-running hit TV show. You end up playing a defining role.
Jenna Fischer
I studied theater in college, and I really wanted to be an actress and play a lot of different roles. Then I made landing on a television comedy my main focus.
Jenna Fischer
Cause it's really hard, it's hard to be an actor.

I had this crazy job, though, when I first got to Los Angeles... I answered this ad in the back of the newspaper to be a telephone psychic, and I did that for two days.
Jenna Fischer
Well, I knew I wanted to be an actor, and I didn't necessarily need or want to be famous or a celebrity actor.

You never go into a marriage expecting to get divorced. You go into a marriage expecting it's going to last forever, and you have a lot of ways you dream about the future. You have all these expectations, and then you have to adjust those expectations, and it can be a very unnerving, confusing time.
Jenna Fischer
Even in college I tended to get cast in the comedies more. It was what I liked doing.
Jenna Fischer
I'd been out in Los Angeles for about eight years, knocking around. I actually, instead of waiting tables, worked in offices as a temporary assistant.
Jenna Fischer
I think we all spend, sometimes, more time at our jobs than we do at home, and there are people that we wouldn't necessarily choose to spend so much time with. So those irritations and those, just those situations I think are really relatable.
Jenna Fischer
I'm not prepared for a zombie apocalypse. I need more bottled water, a shotgun, and stronger abs. I have plenty of canner food.
Jenna Fischer
When I'm writing my blog, I think of myself at 13 years old, back in St. Louis, daydreaming about Hollywood.
Jenna Fischer
I was definitely raised this way. My folks are very grounded, normal people, and I wasn't raised in the entertainment industry. I just grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, in a very normal family. I wasn't a child actor or anything like that.
Jenna Fischer
Yeah, you know I don't ever see myself doing a super-gritty, hard-core drama.
Jenna Fischer
I'm not one to air my dirty laundry for the whole world.
Jenna Fischer
As the lead of a movie, you really set the tone off-camera as well, and that's a really big responsibility.

Laura from The Mysteries Of Laura is the most different from me personally that I've ever played. I'm a very thoughtful, forward-thinking, planner kind of person. I love Excel spreadsheets and five-year-plans, and I love to review every year how my New Year's resolutions went. I'm like that, and that is not Laura at all.
Jenna Fischer
Finally, I was called for The Office and I was really lucky, because a lot of the shows that I went out for I would work my way up from, like, an audition with the casting director to the director to the producers to the studio, I'd go through seven auditions, and then they'd give the role to a famous actress.

Jenna Fischer
I'm very deliberate and I love Excel spreadsheets and I love five-year plans and all that. So it felt really fun to play someone so incredibly different from myself.
