Rashida Jones Quotations

I did a lot of theater in school. I thought maybe I wanted to go to law school or be a judge or a politician. And then I just kind of got smitten by the process of rehearsal and working with other actors and those kinds of challenges. And then comedy.

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.

I feel like until you show every side, you're not doing the gender justice.

Women can do anything, and I want to see that. I want them to make more movies for girls, and just for girls. I want studios to start doing that.

I have a lot of girlfriends, but there's something that's so easy for me about hanging out with guys. It's fun, because I feel like they accept me right back, which is really nice.

The minute you feel like there's nothing left to learn, whether it's with your career or life, you're done.

I hate to be a broken record - my parents have a lot to do with that too, because that's how they live their lives.

I definitely work pretty hard to stay present and focused. I've also tried to create a life for myself where I'm surrounded by honest, loyal, and funny people, because I like to laugh.

I've been really lucky with acting, in that I can do things I believe in and feel good about, and feel good about myself. If for some reason one day that ends, I won't do it anymore. If I feel like I have to compromise myself to continue to be in this industry, I don't want to do that.

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.
