“I've done a lot of theater in my time, and in rehearsals, you're like, 'Well, we find it funny,' but until you get it in front of an audience, it's really hard to know.”

“I think we can all relate to a quarter life crisis when we see one.”

“I think one of the great things that Jason does, that 'Ted Lasso' does: the way that Jason leads is by delegating. He's really good at going, 'Here's what I think, but what do you think? Great. Awesome. Let's work that in, that sounds great.' It's a real collaborative process with him.”

“It's really rich territory for me as an actor to have somebody who has such a long way to go, but he's trying and getting it wrong. Because I know that I try and I get it wrong a lot of the time.”

“Being vulnerable and saying, 'I'm sorry,' and trying to be better is a really wonderful thing to see in somebody who maybe wasn't like that before.”

“We need to see kindness and we need to see empathy and compassion. That's something we need to see in leadership as well.”

“'Ted Lasso' is still funny and it still points fingers and holds truth to power. But it does it in a way that feels like it's a net gain rather than somebody losing out.”

“The reason I became an actor was applause and being the center of attention. So, short of that, Twitter is probably a good alternative.”

“But listen, there's a reason that 'Baby Shark' is the the most-watched or the second most-watched video on YouTube of all time. It's a catchy one. It just gets you right down deep.”

“There is such a strange microculture to footballers' fashion and style and the design that goes around it.”

“I play a lot of football, but let me tell ya, I am nowhere near as good as Jamie Tartt. I wish that I could play football like he does.”

“Manchester is obviously is a huge footballing city with Manchester City and Manchester United there - and I really like this accent because my agent is also from Manchester and my girlfriend's family is from Manchester.”

“And I think that a lot of people in their 20s go through that thing of, this life that I think that I was about to lead, is that actually nonsense? Is that actually something I want to do?... And so they go traveling, or they have a mad relationship, or they dye their hair or whatever.”

“One of the incredible things about doing a show like this is that Jason Sudeikis has it all mapped out in his head. I imagine it's a bit like the tattoos in 'Prison Break.' If you cut Jason open, it's probably like that, but with the story of 'Ted Lasso.'”

“It takes a lot of time and good editors, which luckily we have, to make me look like Jamie Tartt.”

“London is obviously such a huge, complicated, difficult place, but it's such a vibrant cultural place.”

“I really miss so much being at the theater and being able to do plays.”

“I really hope that there are more young men coming to terms with the fact that they feel things and it's OK to feel things and to talk about how they feel about things. That's not weak. It's brave and strong and good.”

“Some people make up for the awkwardness by being mean.”

“I think I'm far too much of a wallflower or maybe a fragile flower to be in the military.”
