People think "The Office" was improvised, but it's all on the page. We do that because what we found is that in the early days of "The Office," we went in with it sort of 80 percent scripted and we did some things and then we improv'd and we did - you know, and it gets a laugh on the floor because it's the first time they've heard it.

I think that's the fundamental thing - you can go anywhere you like as long as you're following a character that the audience likes and understands.

I've probably done the odd thing. I've probably done more than I would have done and some things you don't say no to. You don't say no to working with "The Simpsons"... the greatest comedy show on television. You mustn't. Even though going to my bad judgment, I remember saying that all I can do is make this show slightly worse.

I like my baths really deep and hot. But washing everything only takes a few minutes. So I thought it would be a waste to just flush all that water away. So there was nothing else to do but take pictures of myself trying to look as horrendous as possible. Oh my, what have I started?

When you get back into the editing suite in the cold light of day, the written stuff is better.

Suggesting I hate people with religion because I hate religion is like suggesting I hate people with cancer because I hate cancer.

It's better to create something that others criticise than to create nothing and criticise others. Go create, have fun!!
