More quotes by John Krasinski
I grew up with the Boston vibe and the Catholic vibe. I don't want to put anybody out.
John Krasinski
It's definitely particular to each situation, but whether it is a long history, or someone that you're intimidated by, or someone that you didn't think you ever had a shot at, at the end of the day, I think we're all living through high school, every day.
John Krasinski
For me, anything I do is totally up for conversation and it's not my right to be able to stop a person from writing whatever they want. What's harmful and hurtful is when people speculate.
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.
John Krasinski
All the cliches are true about parenting. All I've ever wanted to do is be a father, but there's this existential mirror that's held up when you have a kid.
John Krasinski
Let's be honest, there are a lot of family movies I like some of them, I don't like other ones.
John Krasinski
I'm not gonna be one of those actors who's like, It's such a drag to not see your kids. Of course it is, but that's the compromise that you're making.
John Krasinski
Boston is actually the capital of the world. You didn't know that? We breed smart-ass, quippy, funny people. Not that I'm one of them. I just sorta sneaked in under the radar.
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
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
The only reason why I acted in school was because of the community, like I was in the chorus of every play, I was never really the lead.
John Krasinski
I've always loved those movies where somebody thinks they want something, and then they realize that the thing they really want is right in front of them.
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
Writing and directing just sort of fell into my lap.
John Krasinski
The perfect gadget would somehow allow me to fly. Isn't that what everybody wants? It would also cook a damn good microwave pizza. So while in flight you had something to eat - an in-flight meal. Where would I go? Well, nowadays, it would probably just take me to work a lot quicker.
John Krasinski
I didn't go to the special screening on a spaceship where everybody goes to have their special screenings...Everybody knows that's what happens in Hollywood.
John Krasinski
Guys have a level of insecurity and vulnerability that's exponentially bigger than you think. With the primal urge to be alpha comes extreme heartbreak. The harder we fight, the harder we fall.
John Krasinski
My favorite water cooler topic is fantasy football. I used to make fun of friends for doing it and now I'm obsessed.
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
I think we owe absolutely everything to the fans.
John Krasinski
