Famous quotes by Rainn Wilson:

"If we're going to sustain 22 [episodes] a year for the next 10 years, we need that ensemble to fill out the office."

"Well, Dwight was born to be No. 2 and I don't think he would know what to do as a leader. But he loves following. He would have made a great fascist."

"Pretty much anybody who's ever worked can relate to our show."

"This is a show that is so made in the editing room, ... We can screw around, do bad takes, try things, really rehearse while we're shooting. It is close to theater in that way."

"I learned a ton from Joe, ... He'd allow you to do anything you wanted in rehearsal. You could do handstands while doing your lines. He just wants you to explode and explore it. Then he'll guide you and help you focus in like a laser on what the character's journey is."

"I've always been terrible on regular sitcoms with lots of jokes. I don't know how to tell jokes,"

"I'm about as big a star as the Baha'i faith has got, which is pretty pathetic."

"One thing I really want to do is - I spent ten years in New York doing theater before I moved to L.A. to do TV and film. I'd really like to go to back New York and do some theater."

"My brain is so anxiety-prone, like a pinball machine. If I don't get up in the morning and focus my thinking, my breathing, and my being for about 12 minutes, I'm just a screwball all day long."

"Dwight is a sad clown. You've seen those paintings of sad clown."

"A guy may wear a suit and have a high-paying job and appear very mature, but essentially, he's a 14-year-old boy."

"I was a total dork in high school."

"I remember being unemployed and walking the East Village streets for many years, constantly checking my voice mail on pay phones, hoping for an audition."

"So much about religion has to do with rigid, sacrosanct preciousness. I don't live my life that way, and I don't feel that's what Baha'u'llah teaches."

"Music is universal too. Even deaf people like to dance, love rhythm, and can kind of pick it up."

"I think Dwight loves being number two. I don't think he has any desire to be number one. He wants to be number two no matter where he goes. It's like Avis. 'We try harder.' That's Dwight."

"I think God has a tremendous sense of humor."

"Life is suffering. Life is not resistance to suffering. The point of life is to suffer. This is why we're here: We're here to suffer. I believe in a higher power that compassionately allows suffering for us as a race, to grow and mature."

"My dad wanted to name me after Rainier Maria Rilke, the poet."

"The great thing about 'The Office' and it being single-camera and the documentary style is that it's mostly a comedy, but 10 percent of it is, we get to show the existential angst that exists in the American workplace."
