I think that actors are terrible communicators as people by and large. I think our tendency is to kind of be self-centered and tune people out and just kind of get really me-focused, so I think communication for actors is a big challenge actually.

I'm a much better listener when I'm acting than I am as a person in real life because you learn as an actor that listening is so important. You have to really key into what the other person you're acting with is saying and how they're saying it and react in the moment to what is going on.

I think that charity is a tricky thing, because a lot of times, people equate charity with handouts. I don't believe in handouts.

Well, Dwight was born to be No. 2 and I don't think he would know what to do as a leader. But he loves following. He would have made a great fascist.

I'm lucky to have a wife and a child that keep me grounded.

I like playing misfits, I like playing oddballs, I like playing characters with rough edges.

Dwight is a sad clown. You've seen those paintings of sad clown.
