More quotes by Rashida Jones
In college, I had a lot of friends who were writers and wanted to be writers and I felt intimidated by it. I just didn't know if I had any gift or voice and I had no confidence about it.
Rashida Jones
Auditioning is the worst.
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
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 anybody who has had a long relationship and has had a really hard time letting go, wants to feel like it's not all for naught, and it's meaningful, because it makes you who you are.

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
Well, dating has become a sport and not about finding the person you love.
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
There's room for everything in everybody.
Rashida Jones
I have no issues with my identity.
Rashida Jones
I love going to weddings.
Rashida Jones
Smiling is definitely one of the best beauty remedies. If you have a good sense of humor and a good approach to life, that's beautiful.
Rashida Jones
I have a lot of girl friends who are very adept at making friends, and guys are just not.
Rashida Jones
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.
Rashida Jones
I feel like until you show every side, you're not doing the gender justice.
Rashida Jones
I think I'm a natural appreciator of comedy. I was definitely not the girl in junior high that all the guys wanted to date. They wanted to date my friends - which was great, because I had to be funny.
