Sometimes you just create a joke out of thin air in the editing room. I'm really glad I've had that experience. It gives me a little more confidence in front of the camera.

The biggest thing that comes out of improv that gets built on is just character traits. You know, for me the singing was born out of improv.

You make adjustments according to the specifics of the character.It's something I feel like a lot of my comedic heroes have always done. It's not even necessarily vulnerability, always, but it's an earnestness, a genuine desire to actually do the right thing, but then still make really misguided, stupid decisions along the way.

There is something beautiful in the mundane if you take enough microscope to it and focus in on something that seems innocuous to begin with.

I cannot stress this enough - if you try to install an HDTV in a non-HDTV compatible house, you may tear the space-time continuum.

When I was 15 I lost a tooth and had an implant put in. Cut to 20 years later, I'm doing this part [Andy Bernard] and the script calls for my character to lose a tooth.

You see a lot of sides of people on a movie set because it can be really taxing and to kind of go through all that together - you really get to know someone.
