The AV Club chatted with Aubrey Plaza about her new film, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. They also got to talking about Parks and Recreation.

Below are some snippets from the Parks and Rec portion of the interview. Click the “source” link for the full thing!

From AV Club:

Your character on Parks And Recreation has broadened a lot since the first six-episode season, but at first, her main purpose was to be sulking in the background of every scene. Was it hard to find levels within that, so you weren’t doing the same thing week after week?
Yeah, I think so. In the first season, I did have a smaller role to play. In the second season, I had this relationship that was kind of a motivation for April, so I think once that came into the picture, I found I had something I was fighting for, something I really cared about. Up until then, [April] really just didn’t want to be there, so the comedy came out of that. But once you give her a goal, there are different choices and different things that come out of her. That was really important to me. It was really good for me to do that, because I think—I hope she’s not rolling her eyes in every scene. There’s more to her than that.

Just the fact that she’s interested in Andy changes our idea of the character. She’s been so concerned with seeming cool and uninvolved, and he’s basically an enthusiastic idiot.
I think it’s really cool the way the writers did that. I think April kind of represents a generation, in a way. She represents this young force in the office. At first glance, you kind of write her off as this disaffected young person that is over it and doesn’t care about anything. But with the Andy stuff, it shows you—I don’t know. Maybe the message there is, there’s still something to be said about being positive and being around people that are just optimistic about life in general. That’s something young people need, or want secretly.

Do the things that come out of improv end up affecting the scripted scenes as well?
Definitely. There’s a lot of times where we’ll come up with something on the spot, and the writers will catch it in the editing room, and then they’ll be like “Wait a minute, this could turn into something.” That’s kind of how the Andy/April thing started. That was an improvised reaction that I had to him in season one, when they didn’t even think that was going to be possible, to have a love arc. It was this one take we did where he’s talking about his band and he’s trying to describe what kind of music it is, and no one gets it. In my head, I was like, “Well, April would probably get it. Also, April would probably think he’s hot, and she’d probably want to flirt with him in some way.” So I reacted and added a line where I was just like “I totally get it.” And they caught it on camera, and then that kind of sparked something. It’s important for us to keep coming up with things on the spot. But ultimately, we don’t have to.

You mentioned April and Andy’s relationship coming out of improv. How much do you know episode to episode where your character is going?
I have no idea what’s going to happen. We don’t really know. They don’t tell us what’s going to happen. I definitely know that our relationship is going to be dealt with, and I hope we get together, because it would be really funny to see them in a relationship. But I have no idea. Nick Offerman, he’s like a sneaky little plot thief. He goes up to the writers’ office sometimes and sneaks around and looks at the board and then comes back and gives us information. But other than that, I have nothing.
