I have profound respect for Sacha Baron Cohen, but Borat is not a particularly comfortable movie for me to sit through.

More quotes by Ed Helms
When you try hard at everything you do, even when it feels foolish to do so, you’re opening up doors and possibilities you might not be seeing in the moment.
Ed Helms
People who grew up in New York City or Los Angeles tend not to even understand what goes on in the rest of the country. I'm really glad to have grown up in an environment where I actually was kind of a weirdo because I was obsessed with comedy and movies and stuff.
Ed Helms
It's kind of hard to win most elections on anti-family, immorality, and Satan-worship.
Ed Helms
I loved the show Lost, in part because the writers were so nimble in how they would take things from previous episodes, that probably weren't created with any intent towards a larger narrative, and they would get woven into narratives in a really elegant and exciting way.
Ed Helms
Sometimes you just create a joke out of thin air in the editing room. So I'm really glad I've had that experience. It gives me a little more confidence in front of the camera.
Ed Helms
I'm pretty sure no one's reading action scripts saying, 'This has got to be Ed Helms.'
Ed Helms
I'm sure I cause just as much consternation for editors as any other actor, it definitely makes me feel more comfortable understanding how and why all the different camera setups exist.

I cannot stress this enough - if you try to install an HDTV in a non-HDTV compatible house, you may tear the space-time continuum.

It's incredibly fun to play someone that you don't like. It exorcises your own demons in a way. It's cathartic. We all have things that we don't like about ourselves, little things. And I get to amplify those things and put them out there. It's fun and it has a cleansing effect.
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'm the worst in The Office. It's a problem. They've had to shut down the set for like 30 minutes because of me.
Ed Helms
We spent six weeks there [in Vegas]. The only thing crazy that I did was shoot that movie [The Hangovers]. The stuff in that movie is way crazier than anything I might have done, drunk one night in Vegas. I mean we did it for real in the movie, so that's as crazy as it got.
Ed Helms
I happen to think singing is hilarious, especially when it pops out at the wrong time.
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
I've been to Indonesia, but I've never been to Thailand. I hear the people are lovely, the food is delicious, and that the heat and humidity are lethal.
Ed Helms
Working on The Daily Show, I co-produced all those field segments, and that's another huge thing.I probably did more than 100 field segments.
Ed Helms
I mean they [ Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis] are both just really good guys and also they're both extremely funny in very unique ways. We made each other laugh an awful lot, and that goes a long way. And we also went through some hard times. I mean it was hard to make this movie [The Hangover].
Ed Helms
Going into editing when I got to New York was part of that. I guess I just kind of wanted to know as much as possible. But I have a real love of the whole process, from start to finish. So right now, I fit into the acting part of the process, but I wouldn't rule anything out. I'm enamored with how the whole thing works.
Ed Helms
Probably my favorite thing about watching a movie that I'm in the first time is to see all the things I didn't know were happening in a scene around me.
