It's funny, growing up there was never anybody around me with any kind of artistic bent.

Let's just say I can never be cast again after Ron Swanson. Then I have a life of theater and woodworking and my wife to look forward to, and that doesn't make me anything but very happy.

When I got my job on Parks, it was so dreamy, kind of unfathomable. I didn't think a job that excellent could exist for me.

Men and women alike, if you think that altering the tip of your nose with surgery will make you happier, I would suggest you alter something much more malleable than your flesh, like your priorities, or your friends.

If you want to be happy in life, consider yourself a student. Every day of your life, think: how can I improve?

Whenever I have a stubborn position on something, I take a deep breath and swallow myself.

I think that purity creates not only a higher level of artistic vision but a purer work ethic.
