Mostly, though, college was me trying to look cooler than I was. There were definitely some Carhartt jeans and backward kangol caps in my repertoire.

More quotes by Rashida Jones
People don't believe this, but Hollywood really is a meritocracy.
Rashida Jones
People are very nice to me, and they've been nice as my career has gotten better and I've gotten more jobs. But the reality is that if I decided tomorrow that I didn't want to act anymore, it's not like people are going to be like, Please, come back!
Rashida Jones
For the most part, it is really nice when people come up to me, because I do think that people who are awkward relate to me, and that's really nice. It's generally good.
Rashida Jones
I think there's just an inherent burden of being alive and being a woman. No man would ever admit that, but I think women know it, which is: You know more than men, you know more than most people you're dealing with every day, and you know that's it up to you to make things move forward, and you get paid half as much, but you just do it.
Rashida Jones
My activities tend to revolve around crossword puzzles, reading and playing piano and games with my friends.
Rashida Jones
It's downright undignified how many blazers I've bought over the years. And will continue to buy. They immediately give shape and add authority. With the perfect blazer, anything is possible.
Rashida Jones
I think there is this thing where people are impressed - it gives you a leg up in the sense that people won't treat you like a run-of-the-mill actress. They'll assign smart to your word bank, your adjective bank.
Rashida Jones
A question I get asked a lot is 'What is it like to play the straight guy all the time?' And I'm totally okay with it.
Rashida Jones
I love being part of an ensemble.
Rashida Jones
I totally believe in romance and love and all that.
Rashida Jones
Men do weird things when they experience fear. It's like a fight or flight thing.
Rashida Jones
I pretty much borrow my entire beauty regime from my mom.
Rashida Jones
I'm not easily offended. I have a pretty high tolerance for raunchiness or shock value, so I'm the wrong person to use as a gauge.
Rashida Jones
Music is hugely important to me.
Rashida Jones
There's no sense that you can knock on your neighbor's door or be part of a local community group, and that's part of your responsibility as a human being.
Rashida Jones
I was like, 'Oh, my God, girls are so pretty and soft. No stubble burn! What am I doing with guys?' [I] haven't dipped back since, but I was very appreciative of the experience.
Rashida Jones
I would [call myself a feminist], yes. I believe in the unadulterated advancement of women. And we have so far to go still. I do think because women are so clever and flexible and such good communicators, it been hard for men to evolve and keep up. I think we could do a little better to help them out.
Rashida Jones
I'm friends with a lot of my exes, but it took time. We didn't just get into it. I don't think you can be friends until you're cool with them dating someone else. That's when you know.
Rashida Jones
With acting, the stark reality for women is that it's nearly impossible to get older in an elegant fashion as an actress. Either you're fighting your age, or you're having to own it in a way that feels inelegant, or you're Meryl Streep and you're an angel from God.
Rashida Jones
If I can surround myself with hilarious people every day, I will always want to go to work.
Rashida Jones
