Quote

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.

I think we owe absolutely everything to the fans.

Keeping it real is the key and I don't know how they've done that week after week. I think the key is that everybody can sort of empathize with [The Office].
John Krasinski
Image
Why don't we try falling in love first and then I'll see what happens after that?
John Krasinski

I used to make fun of my friends who had BlackBerries. And I know that the expression CrackBerry has been going around, but now I fully understand it. I'm actually addicted to a piece of machinery, and that's really embarrassing

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.

My favorite scene on the show [The Office] is on the booze cruise when I finally get to talk to her and tell her, and I react exactly how I would react by saying nothing.

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.

I love this script [The Hollars] because I'm lucky enough to come from a really tightknit family.

People have a sense of humor, even if it's not a good one, and everybody has stakes.
John Krasinski
Image
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
Image
One of the best lessons I've ever gotten in my life is to anticipate nothing because it's always worse in your head than it really is.
John Krasinski
Image
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.

Image
There are always roles that seem enticing that you can't do because of scheduling.
John Krasinski
Image
Each cast member brings their own vibe and antics to the set. You're constantly surrounded by fun loving people who can make you laugh in their own way
John Krasinski
Image
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.

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
Image
Writing and directing just sort of fell into my lap.
John Krasinski
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.
