More quotes by Ed Helms
There really aren't any deletes [in The Hanover movie]. There's like one or two deleted scenes but they're not important or meaningful scenes.
Ed Helms
Don't be afraid of fear. Because it sharpens you, it challenges you, it makes you stronger and when you run away from fear, you also run away from the opportunity to be your best possible self.
Ed Helms
It has been said that a rolling stone gathers no moss. I would add that sometimes a rolling stone also gathers no verifiable facts or even the tiniest morsels of journalistic integrity.
Ed Helms
I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them.
Ed Helms
I grew up in Georgia and I think if you're raised in the South it's where a lot of the war was fought, and it's just more present in the sort of psyche of the South. So I've always just been interested and sort of fascinated by [Civil War].
Ed Helms
You see a lot of sides of people on a movie set because it can be really taxing and to kind of go through all that together - you really get to know someone.
Ed Helms
The improv stuff, that's always surprising so a lot of times that's really funny.
Ed Helms
I found myself often asking the question, Who deserves to be made fun of? Depending on your mood, the answer can be no one or everyone. It took me a while to understand the math of how those field pieces came together. I don't think that ridicule is ever funny, but there are times when that gets the biggest response.
Ed Helms
Chickens are a symbol of chaos. Wherever you stick a chicken, unless it's a chicken farm, it's just chaos.
Ed Helms
As an editor, you're constantly dealing with the best way to convey an exchange between two people. So when I'm shooting that, I'm just aware in the back of my head what an editor might want. And also, the problems editors run into when trying to edit performances - it helps me head that off at the pass a little.
Ed Helms
I love travel. I love to go spend time in new places. And even though I got horribly sick in Thailand, and it was the sickest I may have ever been in my life, I still loved the trip.
Ed Helms
This may come as a surprise, given the nature of my job, but I am very guarded and contemplative. I'm not a naturally boisterous person.
Ed Helms
You take a vacation to a place like Thailand and you're ready for the excitement of something new and foreign. But when you're working 14-hour days, all you want is something familiar to ground you. And there's just nothing there.
Ed Helms
Todd [Phillips] doesn't care. That's part of his genius as a director, he will say anything to anybody.
Ed Helms
There are currently more political parties in Iraq than unbombed buildings to hold them.
Ed Helms
A lot of kind of like the way that Andy [Bernard] talks, you know, the writers pick up on those things - little moments that I inject and then they start to write it in later. It's hard to say if a whole storyline is spun out of an improv. I feel like it has happened on The Office, I just can't think of it.
Ed Helms
I mean the fun part about when Andy Bernard sings on The Office is he usually embellishes the songs in fun, stupid ways. That's just something that I do in life, like in the shower or whatever. So a lot of that stuff is pretty spontaneous.
Ed Helms
It's just one of those things like when you're not supposed to laugh, it makes it that much harder to stop laughing. And for some reason Zach [ Galifianakis] and I get in this feedback mood of giggling, and on the set of Hangover we just couldn't get through stuff.
Ed Helms
My friend and I sang an a cappella rendition of Extreme's More Than Words at one of our football pep rallies in a desperate attempt to look cool. For a while, I wore pink Converse All Stars because I thought it made me seem daring and irreverent.
Ed Helms
Vulnerability is huge. I love to see that in characters. It's something I feel like a lot of my comedic heroes have always done.
