    • Gillian: (On feeling out of her element compared to the comedic background of her cast mates on the TV series "Community") I've learned a lot. I've learned a lot from this man, Jim Rash [who plays Dean Pelton]. He's a Groundling and he actually asked me to go and do improv one night at the Groundlings. I was foolishly like, "Yeah, sure!" And then I got there and was instantly terrified, like, "What have I done?" But I feel like I've absorbed some stuff … The only reason I was able to pull it off is getting to work with people like Jim and Donald Glover and Chevy Chase.
    • Gillian: (On if she prefers the episodes on the TV series "Community" to be big themed episodes, more grounded, or mixed) I like that we don't have to pick. 'Cause I don't think I would want to be on a show that was all one or the other, you know? But it's really nice to go from doing something hyperrealistic, like the hospital episode, which was faux-documentary style-to go from that to something that's really heightened reality, I think that's really fun. And you feel sort of challenged as an actor. You've got to keep all your chops up rather than just doing the same thing week after week.
    • Gillian: (On if her character Britta on the TV series "Community" frustrates her to play) No, I love it.
