More quotes by Jenna Fischer
It makes it really hard to just go to a dinner party because, in my work life, I'm surrounded by the funniest people, ever. I'm really spoiled. I laugh a lot, in my day.
Jenna Fischer
Yeah, you know I don't ever see myself doing a super-gritty, hard-core drama.
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
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.
Jenna Fischer
I'm not one to air my dirty laundry for the whole world.
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'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.
Jenna Fischer
Growing up, I was a very shy, wallflower type. I was not a nerd, but not popular. I was just invisible, like that person you probably didn't know you were in school with.
Jenna Fischer
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
As the lead of a movie, you really set the tone off-camera as well, and that's a really big responsibility.
Jenna Fischer
I didn't want to go to college. I wanted to move to Los Angeles right out of high school.
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 say it was like this accidental research that I did for eight years. I had no idea I was researching the role of my career. But yeah, and there was this one casting director named Allison Jones, and for five years she would call me in every year for a different TV show and she just really was a big supporter of mine.
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 a believer in the parent first, friend second philosophy, and trying to find that balance.
Jenna Fischer
Tilda Swinton is a great example of a person who completely disappears into a role.
Jenna Fischer
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
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 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.
Jenna Fischer
Even in college I tended to get cast in the comedies more. It was what I liked doing.
