I would love it if 'Community' could have a trajectory like '30 Rock' and choose when to go out.
I did live in New York. Yeah, I moved to L.A. for 'Community.' And I gave up my apartment in New York.
I know other actors who are relieved when their shows get cancelled, and I've never felt that way about 'Community.'
A lot of people watch 'Community,' but DVR viewings only count if you watch within a certain time.
I'd never really done comedy before 'Community,' so getting to work day in and day out with all these great people, directors, writers, and actors, I feel like I've learned a lot.
I had kissed a girl in the second season of 'Community,' but that was my first time kissing a girl ever, and I was so nervous, I almost knocked Brit Marling's teeth out.
I'd say I've gone to grad school for comedy being on 'Community.'
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 went to college and got my degree in acting, but because it was all theater, I really consider my first couple years on 'Mad Men' as amazing training for working in television and for acting on-camera.
I'm spending way too much time test running my Vine videos. I'll go into a room and close the door and be in there for an hour workshopping a Vine video that I never even post. So that's probably a huge time suck.
When you're shooting at 9 A.M. at a club, you have to use all of your acting skills.
'Dancing on My Own' is actually a really sad song! It has totally made me cry.
I'm a Bravoholic, and I love 'RuPaul's Drag Race.'
I've had a very positive experience in L.A. in the comedy world and found everyone to be very nice and welcoming. It's been really fun.
