I'm sure I cause just as much consternation for editors as any other actor, but it definitely makes me feel more comfortable understanding how and why all the different camera setups exist.

More quotes by Ed Helms
So long as your desire to explore is greater than your desire to not screw up, you're on the right track.
Ed Helms
I'm pretty sure no one's reading action scripts saying, 'This has got to be Ed Helms.'
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
No one employed [ chaos] better than Jim Henson, by the way, on The Muppets. He had all these chicken Muppets that just brought in the most glorious chaos to whatever scene they were a part of.
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
It was never tough [ being the new guy]. It's just the warmest group of people [The Office stuff] you could ever hope to work with.
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
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
The piano song that I do in the movie [The Hangover], it's a great example, that was never - that wasn't in the script.
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
There are currently more political parties in Iraq than unbombed buildings to hold them.
Ed Helms
I happen to think singing is hilarious, especially when it pops out at the wrong time.
Ed Helms
With the tiger you're always on edge, and you always have to keep your distance. The monkey is far less threatening so you're more relaxed around the monkey, and I think that's actually hazardous.
Ed Helms
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.
Ed Helms
It's a fascinating culture [the South in the Civil War period] and so rife with comedic possibilities. And not in a way that...I have no intention of making fun of re-enactors. I think it's more just a celebration of their passion and enthusiasm, which is so infectious and maybe at times a little misguided.
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
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 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
There is something beautiful in the mundane if you take enough microscope to it and focus in on something that seems innocuous to begin with.
Ed Helms
All I knew is that I loved movies and comedy and TV, and I wanted to perform. I made a bunch of shorts and movies in college, and that was always fun too. I directed some plays in college. It was taking it all in and trying to immerse myself in as much of it as possible.
