More quotes by 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 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
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 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
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
Tilda Swinton is a great example of a person who completely disappears into a role.
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
Even in college I tended to get cast in the comedies more. It was what I liked doing.
Jenna Fischer
I spent my whole adolescence, when you just want to be accepted, looking much younger than everyone else.
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
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
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
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 always worry that people are going to be very confused sometimes timelines get confused with how movies get made. So when I say, Oh, I made this movie when I was going through a divorce, people think, Oh no! She's pregnant with a child and divorced?
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
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
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
I didn't want to go to college. I wanted to move to Los Angeles right out of high school.
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.
