So I'm pretty attached to my routines and my grounded ways. — Jenna Fischer
I had never really heard of Meryl Streep before. Someone told me she was an actress and she'd been in a few things, but I said, you know, whatever.

The thing that I've run up against is that it's always been an either-or proposition, especially in Hollywood.

By the time I was seventeen, I was on my way to Hollywood and didn't look back. My family is supportive now, but like any adult guardian of a seventeen-year-old daughter, they were not thrilled with my plan to run off to the LA to make it as an actress.

To really be known and really let someone else be known is very vulnerable. It's a weird thing. Just being an actress in Hollywood is very vulnerable.

I'm really aware of the conversations that surround young actresses in Hollywood.
