'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.

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

There's not many good comedies to watch - you know, comedies that make you glad you watched them.

I think it's better to not know certain things. It gives the world an extra bit of mystery, which is important to us as human beings.

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.

I'm a believer in trusting the director.

Regret is just perfectionism plus time.
