“Boston is actually the capital of the world. You didn't know that? We breed smart-ass, quippy, funny people. Not that I'm one of them. I just sorta sneaked in under the radar.”
“David Foster Wallace, in my opinion, is one of the greatest writers we've ever had, certainly in the last twenty years. His obvious dominance of the English language is partnered with honest moments and the most beautifully dark sensibility.”
“If you did go to high school and then college, there's definitely a solidarity with someone that is from your hometown and knows your mom and all that stuff.”
“Always trying new things is always more fun, and it can be scary, but it's always more fun in the end.”
“I know I'll never be put in the position of making the adulterous mistake, but there are mistakes along the way that are as complicated, that get blown out of proportion because you're not willing to admit that you've made them.”
“Being funny is one of my greatest strengths. I can make girls smile when they're down, and when they're having a good time, I can carry on the joke.”
“When people ask if I'm going to be sad that 'The Office' is over, they don't even understand the depth of that question for me. It's an era of my life. No one would have known my name if it wasn't for the show.”
“The real drawback when you write with a partner is that where you want it to go and where they want it to go is similar, but not exactly lined up, and that's where it's going to lead you into trouble.”
“I held down as many jobs as I could find, from being a waiter to working at a yoga studio and as a ticket-taker at a small theater company - anything that would allow me to go out and do auditions.”
“My parents and my brothers and their wives are incredible and formed me as a person long before I got to Hollywood.”
“Each cast member brings their own vibe and antics to the set. You're constantly surrounded by fun loving people who can make you laugh in their own way.”
“My favorite water cooler topic is fantasy football. I used to make fun of friends for doing it and now I'm obsessed.”
“Bizarrely, on movie sets, they don't really dig it when you look in the camera, which is a bizarre fact.”
“I love feeling strong. You pick up your daughter with ease while everyone else makes a little grunt when they pick up their kids.”
“I think that whether you're married or not, in any relationship, there's always the terror that you're going to screw something up.”
“I taught English in Costa Rica before I went to college. I'm not an especially outdoorsy guy, but sometimes I would spot wildlife while whitewater rafting or walking in the rainforest at 5 A.M.”
“I had done one failed pilot. I remember, when it failed, I was like, 'Oh my God, how does someone survive this? That's it - that's the end of my career; it's over.'”
“I learned that the best way to work is to allow the scene to live on its own before making major adjustments, whether in rehearsal or on film.”
“Directing was a great experience, but it's terrifying to have the responsibility of carving up the other actors' performances.”
“The perfect gadget would somehow allow me to fly. Isn't that what everybody wants? It would also cook a damn good microwave pizza. So while in flight you had something to eat - an in-flight meal. Where would I go? Well, nowadays, it would probably just take me to work a lot quicker.”
