It's not about celebrity or not. It's all about, do you have that 'girl in a cardigan' in you. You gotta have that.

I grew up with the Boston vibe and the Catholic vibe. I don't want to put anybody out.

I love to have the people watching [The Office ] just because it's fun to have people watching, but our fans are so dedicated, so smart and so cool for the most part. We don't have these fans that overwhelm you if they see you on the street. They're like, 'Love the show', or 'What an idiot. You should have said something to her last week.' I'm like, 'I know.'

All I've ever wanted to do was be a great dad, and yet there's no stopping this existential mirror that's held up to yourself when you're about to have a kid.

If you did go to high school and then college, there's definitely a solidarity with someone that is from your hometown and knows your mom, and all that stuff. There's this weird politeness that we have, as a society. You don't want to make it hard for anybody.

I think it's a big chance to take to make a movie that's about as something as pure and honest and something people can relate to everyday.

I don't want my kids to ever think that I am choosing my job over them.
