Caring about what people think of me decreases everyday.

For the most part, having more money and more fame make your life harder. It just does. I've seen it happen with people. You know, it's so hard to stay normal. It's so hard to stay happy. It's hard to remember why you were doing what you did in the first place.
Rashida Jones
Invest in your brain, invest in your talents. Those things can appreciate and they get better as you get older.

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
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
Auditioning is the worst.
Rashida Jones
Good rom-coms have some reflection of the way things are, the sign of the times.
Rashida Jones
I think every girl has that a guy she has trouble letting go of.
Rashida Jones
I do have designers that I love to wear, like Philip Lim and Marc Jacobs whose stuff I know will look good on my body. But still, I always like to express myself by changing things up.
Rashida Jones
Well, I'm not a method actress by any stretch of the imagination so the best thing that I can do is be as real as possible and find whatever commonality in that character that I can see myself.
Rashida Jones
It's hard to find female leads that are flawed and interesting and dynamic.
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.
