All of a sudden Mindy [Kaling] was writing on The Office and had sold a TV show. When we'd try to write shows, we'd jokingly call the word documents "Hit Show." We just couldn't crack the code.

First, I wanted to be Chris Farley. When I was growing up, Chris Farley was still on the stages and fun to us. In my house, John Belushi was king. I didn't grow up when he was - I was born in '78 - the reruns of Belushi in 'Animal House,' and knowing he was at Second City, he was viewed as a king in my house.

I prefer to work with first-time directors.

I like dogs, but I have more respect for cats.

I always thought, if you're gonna do TV, you want to play a straight, solid, pillar-of-the-show kind of guy.

When somebody is doing something really funny, in real life and as a performer, my instinct is to join them.

I love when people on Twitter give advice.
