Do people on Twitter ever get mad at you about spoilers?
Every once in a while I’ll get people saying that I’ve spoiled shows for them, and I’m like, “I watch shows at least a week late. If I’ve spoiled something for you, you have got to get a better schedule.” Or, “How about you not follow me? Never mind, I’ll block you.”
What are your other go-to social media platforms?
I like Instagram. One of my brothers is on it, and I feel like that’s the only way we even communicate half the time. And I follow a lot of nail design people on there, even though I’m scared to do anything other than a French manicure. I fall into Instagram nail design black holes almost every morning.
What’s your must-have gadget?
It’s lame, but it’s my phone. I just updated to the 5s. I was really pissed because I had the 4—I didn’t have Siri, I was fine—and I was living a perfectly normal life until I upgraded to iOS7 and it slowed my phone down. I was psychotic. And there was no iPhone 5s anywhere. But I finally found one and now I kind of love it.
What’s your favorite app?
This is so lame, but Rashida [Jones] and Adam [Scott] told me about these apps SignEasy and DocuSign, and they have changed my life because now I don’t have to print contracts to sign them. My printer isn’t working, so I haven’t been able to print anything for five months.
What’s on your reading list?
I just got Nick Offerman’s Paddle Your Own Canoe, and Rob Delaney’s book, Mother. Wife. Sister. Human. Warrior. Falcon. Yardstick. Turban. Cabbage., is next to my nightstand.
How do you pass the time on set when you’re shooting Parks and Rec?
If the whole cast is on set together, we do a lot of singing. Amy [Poehler] used do this game where if someone said a name to you, you had to attempt to do an impersonation of that person. And another thing we used to play was “Name five people over 60 you’d have sex with.” That was hilarious.
