'Portlandia' is the most fun show. When I get a breakdown of what the arc of the story is going to be, I could never in my wildest dreams anticipate the direction.

I love Portland. I think it's one of the best cities - I obviously haven't been to very many places, but I had one of the best times I've had on a set there.

Portland's as good a place as any. The food is good, the people are nice. I'm in love with it.

I wanted to go to Portland because it's a really good book town.

I don't really like New York better than Portland. It's just a different place.

Portland is a place where everyone closes their eyes and crosses their fingers and hopes for a better community. They keep it small and local, and usually they think if they just make great coffee, it's the best thing for the neighborhood.

Portland is the perfect weekend getaway. I studied acting in Portland and lived there for five years. It's a small city with so much to do. There's beautiful scenery, a great bar scene, and so many fabulous restaurants.

Nowadays I'd describe myself as earnest, terribly earnest. I'm the person who wants everybody in the room to feel important and happy.

Portland is quickly becoming one of those lovely, lush Third World countries where kinda-rich people retire with their money.

It would be terribly boring to be earnest.
