Good comics gravitate to each other; you know who's your type of person by watching them onstage, hopefully.
- New

- Nov 07, 2020
The most exciting thing I aspire to do is to write something new that I know is going to work, or perform something that I know is going to make people laugh.
- Director

- Nov 07, 2020
I'm a believer in trusting the director.
- Moment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Different people have different styles, but there is an opportunity as a director to be a writer in every moment, with every visual cue and every piece of production design. Everything is a decision, and everything can be obsessed over.
- Balance
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'The Office' is less a comedy than so many other 'comedies' that have been on the air. It's really about the balance between what is real and what is comic.

- Nov 07, 2020
I wanted to be a writer first, and I struck out in the world to be a writer first, and then found stand-up as a more creative outlet, as a 3D way to be creative.
- Stupid
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I remember my mum coming into my bedroom when I was lying awake one night, and she asked what I was thinking of... And I was telling her about the inventions I would invent, and she said, 'Can't you ever just think stupid thoughts?'
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think I am very proud of being associated with quality things. So if I were massively famous for doing massively beloved things, yeah, that sounds great.
- Hot
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It feels as though a very disproportionate number of main characters are writers, because that's what the writer knows. Fair enough. But nothing bothers me more in a movie than an actor playing a writer, and you just know he's not a writer. Writers recognize other writers. Ethan Hawke is too hot to be a writer.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My goal is not to make popular things. My goal is to make the things I love as popular as I can make them.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020
If a work alienates a reader, should that be counted against it? I respect people that love 'Ulysses,' for example, but I'm on the other side of the argument. 'Ulysses' would be better if it seduced me. But I probably have the minority point of view.
- Eyes

- Nov 07, 2020
I have blue eyes, and before I knew anything about fashion - I'm talking about the second grade - I learned I would get a compliment if I wore a blue shirt.
- Crazy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like jeans, but I think in 100 years it's going to be crazy when we look back at the fact that everyone, every day for about 60 years straight, wore stiff blue pants as their default. Why?
- Busy

- Nov 07, 2020
I have one really nice watch. It's a white-face, stainless-steel Rolex Daytona. I wear it a lot. I got that in the middle of 'The Office.' All the guys in the writers' room were like, 'Let's all get a nice watch.' We were too busy to upgrade our lives in a big way, but we thought this was a nice symbolic gesture.
- Lawyer
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think a lot of writers spend years just getting up the courage to write because it seems like such a fantasy of a profession. My dad saved me all that time by making me think, 'Oh, anyone can be a writer. It's like being a firefighter or a lawyer.'
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't actually feel multi-talented. I just feel that I'm in this business where we give ourselves 100 titles and gold statues. It's like, lawyers aren't like, 'You're incredible! You're a professional arguer in front of the judge! You're great at paperwork!' No, you just get credit for one job.
- Dinner
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I could go to dinner with one person, alive or dead, I think I would choose alive.
