Rashida Jones in Lab Magazine

From Lab Magazine:

JACK BLACK—How are you?

RASHIDA JONES—I’m good, Jack, you?

JB—I’ve had a strange tightness in my left glute for weeks and I’m nervous, too, because I’m not a good interviewer. I have a little bit of the red light… what do you call that?

RJ—Red-light district?

JB—Red-light syndrome.

RJ—What’s that?

JB—It’s when you see a red light and you know the camera is rolling, so you… clench up.

RJ—Right. Your left glute tightens up.

JB—Your butt hole gets tight… Um… But, how’s it going?

RJ—It’s going pretty good. How’s it going with you?

JB—Good. Today’s a good day. Just looking at birds, and looking at Owen [Wilson], and looking at an ‘X’ that’s supposed to be you.

Reel Artsy’s Q&A with Rashida Jones

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Reel Artsy got a chance to speak to Rashida Jones during a recent book signing for Frenemy of the State, a graphic novel series Rashida created. Click the “source” link for the full version!

From Reel Artsy:

On what allured her to the story Frenemy of the State:
The concept for me was this girl who had been programmed to be the projected object of desire of the world and she knows her place in the world: to be pretty and go to parties, to be rich and be watched. And then all of a sudden her life changes and her priorities change and she’s forced in a situation where she’s going to jail or she’s going to work for the CIA and in doing that she kind of discovers who she is. She discovers she’s really good at something besides going to parties, and she likes her work and feels skilled and capable. I think right now, young girls, they kind of need that sort of a paradigm: where it’s not just about being pretty and what you wear and who you know.

On her favorite place to write:
It sounds really corny but the best thing for me is to be in my house with the fireplace. You know, just kind of sitting on my couch… I write scripts with my writing partner, sitting in front of the fire drinking tea. That feels really good because I feel like I’m in a little bit of a cocoon and there’s no reason to go out. I love writing at home. I love my home. I can write inside or outside. I definitely can’t have any music playing. It can be day, it can be night as long as I’m well fed, and most of the time well caffeinated, I can tackle it.

Favorite writing snacks?
Dark chocolate and I really like a piece of toast with fresh hummus or maybe some cheese. I love feta.

Advice for actors/writers:
Just show up everyday. I would say 5 percent of the time you actually will think you’re brilliant and 95 percent of the time you’ll just feel like there’s a lot of heavy lifting but you kind of have to show up for that 5 percent to show up to you.
