I had a Shiatsu dog for 12 years - we were different in size but he was certainly man's best friend, he was my little guy.

The show is called The Office and while it focuses on the people, the architecture of the space is very important.

So in terms of a large part of the job on our show specifically, what makes the show complex and interesting and funnier are the conversations about "Where's the camera?" and "How aware are the characters of the camera? Are the cameras hidden for this shot? Is it a spy shot from far away? Or is it really close and in their face, and they sort of have to play to it in an embarrassing situation?" There's a whole other level of questions and choices that come into play on our show that are not even a factor in anything else.

I do have a childlike enthusiasm at times. I certainly enjoy life and get pleasure sometimes in childish things.

Television is certainly a writers-led medium. They're the ones who are there, they're the ones that are conferencing or whatever, with directors coming and going.
