More quotes by 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.

Even in college I tended to get cast in the comedies more. It was what I liked doing.

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.

Sometimes acting is really cool because it forces you to exercise certain muscles in your personality that you wouldn't normally be called upon in life.
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

Jenna Fischer
I'm a believer in the parent first, friend second philosophy, and trying to find that balance.
Jenna Fischer
I think that there is a tragic misfit at the core of me, and I've just done a lot of work on myself. I love a good self-help book I've read a ton of them. I love self-help seminars and therapy and all that.
Jenna Fischer
I went to a little liberal-arts college in Missouri called Truman State University.
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 still get nervous when I have a lot of makeup on, a big hairdo, and a dress.

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.
