More quotes by John Krasinski
I love this script [The Hollars] because I'm lucky enough to come from a really tightknit family.
John Krasinski
The idea of family is really one of the only things we can all say we have and we can't run away from. Whether you like your family or not. Whether it's complicated or not, there's something - call it spiritual, call it existential, whatever - that's in you.
John Krasinski

To be that big of a star and that grounded and that classy, I'm mean [ George Clooney] was a true mentor for me and, as a director, he's incredible.
John Krasinski
We have the best writers in the business [on The Office].
John Krasinski
Truly, when I say the show has given me everything, it's given me everything.
John Krasinski
People have a sense of humor, even if it's not a good one, and everybody has stakes.

It's a great wake-up call for our entire industry: What movies are we making? What storytellers are we allowing to tell the stories? What people are we allowing to be cast in those stories? I think we need newer stories, and more people given the opportunity to do anything they want.
John Krasinski
When I look at my parents I'm like, 'This is easy. Staying together for 35 years? How hard is that?' They're like, 'Very hard.
John Krasinski
We actually try our best to be non-biased, but for me, that was the best movie [Sicario], filmmaking-wise and storytelling-wise, and connected to me the most. I thought it was great.
John Krasinski
I am in that everything [ David Foster Wallace] writes is pretty much the best stuff I've read, so that makes me a fan I guess.
John Krasinski
I have people printing that I have. Never been engaged. As far as what I think of marriage, I think it's great. I think I'd like to be married some day, but I'll start with love.
John Krasinski
I think one of the coolest things about the job is the level of trust we have for each other. The actors fully trust that the writers will write amazing episodes, and the writers trust that the actors will follow their instincts with the characters
John Krasinski
When you have two people that good in a movie, I think it adds a class and a feeling of importance for other actors that they want to be involved.
John Krasinski
I'm a huge classics fan. I love Ernest Hemingway and J.D. Salinger. I'm that guy who rereads a book before I read newer stuff, which is probably not all that progressive, and it's not really going to make me a better reader. I'm like, 'Oh, my God, you should read To Kill a Mockingbird.
John Krasinski
We live in a very modern age and the dynamic of raising kids and being a professional are intersecting a lot more - especially for women.
John Krasinski
After three takes, [George Clooney] is like, 'We got it,' and I'm still thinking, 'I'm just getting used to this. I shouldn't have done it in a Russian accent.' No, he's great. He's a good guy.
John Krasinski
If you did go to high school and then college, there's definitely a solidarity with someone that is from your hometown and knows your mom, and all that stuff. There's this weird politeness that we have, as a society. You don't want to make it hard for anybody.
John Krasinski
You can't do anything to be funny. That's cringeworthy. If your humor comes out of a place of love every time, you don't make the joke bigger than you. The funniest comedians are in touch with their emotional level.
