More quotes by 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
As the lead of a movie, you really set the tone off-camera as well, and that's a really big responsibility.
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
The Farrelly brothers make movies the way you imagine a movie set would be when you're a kid - fun all the time.

I went to a little liberal-arts college in Missouri called Truman State University.

When I'm writing my blog, I think of myself at 13 years old, back in St. Louis, daydreaming about Hollywood.

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
Yeah, you know I don't ever see myself doing a super-gritty, hard-core drama.

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
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'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
Tilda Swinton is a great example of a person who completely disappears into a role.
Jenna Fischer
I'm not one to air my dirty laundry for the whole world.
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
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
I don't have any type of sketch-comedy or stand-up background.
Jenna Fischer
I also love horror movies I like me a big Peter Berg action movie. I'm a movie lover in general.
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.
