More quotes by 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.

I feel like there is this weird thing where celebrity involvement in political campaigns kind of goes together like peanut butter and chocolate. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad.
Rashida Jones
Sure, being good at your job is really important, but in acting, so much of the decision's already made the minute you walk in the room because they're like, 'His hair's good or she's got the right skin color' or whatever. It's so random, but it's so physically oriented.
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.

I think it's a relatable concept - when you have a long-term relationship or marriage, and you want to try to be friends with that person, because you kind of grew up with that person and they know you better than anyone, and how it's just impossible to make that transition seamlessly.
Rashida Jones
I can be pretty persuasive if I believe in something strongly enough.

Mom is the most unconditionally loving person I will ever know, and she has always supported me on every level.
Rashida Jones
I think people kind of come in who they are, and it sort of doesn't even matter who their parents are - it can affect you a little bit, and you can be guided and shaped.
Rashida Jones
I tend to leave the house without makeup all the time. I'm kind of lazy that way.
Rashida Jones
I know that in life there will be sickness, devastation, disappointments, heartache - it's a given. What's not a given is the way you choose to get through it all. If you look hard enough, you can always find the bright side.
Rashida Jones
I have no issues with my identity.
Rashida Jones
Good rom-coms have some reflection of the way things are, the sign of the times.
Rashida Jones
In early high school years, I was pretty chubby, and I spent a lot of time on my computer, before it was cool to have a computer - because there was a time that was true. So that's where I developed my personality.
Rashida Jones
I've never been in a writer's room.
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
Fail fast. Fail often... The most talented people in the world have bad ideas. That's a good thing to learn.
Rashida Jones
I would be an idiot to say comedy is easy, but it does come naturally. It never feels forced.
Rashida Jones
I have a lot of girl friends who are very adept at making friends, and guys are just not.
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
I totally believe in romance and love and all that.
