Gillian Jacobs Thinking Quotations

I think we've probably all read a word that we've never heard pronounced out loud, and we try it out in a sentence and fall on our face.

I think if I was in over 250 films, the world would get pretty sick of me. I would probably never get put in anything ever again.

Thinking back about throwing myself at certain gentlemen that had no interest in me, that'll bring a blush to my face if I think about it too often.

The more attention you give to your negative feelings, the more they grow, so I think things just start to blow totally out of proportion.

A lot of people I went to college with felt like they wanted to pursue theater exclusively, so I don't think that I really was in competition with people that I went to school with.

I think when you have some success as a kid, your notion of being a good actor is pleasing the director, doing exactly what they tell you to do.

It is important to stop being critical and judging ideas as good or bad because I think if somebody doesn't have a lot of experience you worry their idea is going to be bad, it's not going to be good enough, if not going to be active enough and so you can start to think critically about people's suggestions or what they bring to it but once you get out of that and think whatever they come up with is the right thing right now and so I'm just going to build on it just makes everything so much easier and better.

I think we are used to being critical and evaluating ideas.

I don't think I've ever been mistaken for anyone.

I think I signed some contract, early on in my career, that I will only kiss Steve Carell when I do a movie.

I think that it is important to establish a world of place for the characters in improv and there is nothing to be gained from disagreeing about that. So you have to establish the principle that if some person establishes one thing we're all going to go along with it and that we are all building from it.

I think there's a sort of satisfaction in defying people's expectations.

Rather than just becoming embittered by your friends' success, I think it can motivate you.

I think 'Glee' was a freshman comedy, and I think whenever it's your debut season, you get compared a lot to the other shows, regardless if there's any sort of overlap in content or tone or anything, just because you came out in the same year.

I also think the more experienced you get as an actor, you start to hear the conversations about why people get cast and not cast, sometimes it's so arbitrary. They decided the moment you walked in the door. And there's nothing you could have done to sway them, even if you'd the greatest performance of all time.

I think, you know, when you're an actor who's had periods of unemployment, it makes you feel really good to have a job - to say that you're expected somewhere, do you know what I mean?

I wasn't necessarily looking to do comedy on TV, but I don't think it's an accident that I ended up on 'Community.'

I think when you're in a relationship, either you have something or your partner generally has something that you're having to deal with.
