More quotes by John Krasinski
There are always roles that seem enticing that you can't do because of scheduling.
John Krasinski
Being funny is one of my greatest strengths. I can make girls smile when they're down, and when they're having a good time, I can carry on the joke.
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'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
My family's the best so to call and say, 'I'm in a movie with Robin Williams,' and they're like, 'That's ridiculous.' And I'm like, 'Good, as long as you think that, too.' Because as soon as you say, 'I deserve this,' it's over.
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
I fell in love with the book [ Brief Interviews with Hideous Men] and always wanted to do something with and fought to get the rights, which was pretty fun and an incredible experience in itself.
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
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
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
Being [in] a show that you get to say good-bye instead of being asked to leave is a real honor.
John Krasinski
I love this script [The Hollars] because I'm lucky enough to come from a really tightknit family.
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
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 think it's a big chance to take to make a movie that's about as something as pure and honest and something people can relate to everyday.
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
The one-liner of this movie [ The Hollars], you've probably heard before: 'A guy goes home to his family and finds out about himself.
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'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
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
