More quotes by Rainn Wilson
I've always been terrible on regular sitcoms with lots of jokes. I don't know how to tell jokes.
Rainn Wilson
I started in theatre, and for me, it was all about transformation. You transform into the character that you're playing.
Rainn Wilson
Music is universal too. Even deaf people like to dance, love rhythm, and can kind of pick it up.
Rainn Wilson
I can relate to someone whose life is falling apart, and they are doing the best to get by, using humor to survive. Backstrom really wears his heart on his sleeve and his life is unraveling... I would much rather hang out with that person than a slick procedural detective who has all the answers... it's human, it's frail, it's interesting.
Rainn Wilson
I found it very easy to transform into creeps and weirdos and losers and goof-balls, and I'm happy to play eccentric kinds of characters, and I have a great affinity for the outsider, but I definitely am about expanding my range as well.
Rainn Wilson
When I was a little kid I loved the Marx brothers and discovered Monty Python when I was 10 or 11-years-old. I used to take a tape recorder and hold it up in front of the TV to record entire episodes to play over and over again, so that I could memorise it.

Some of the most morally conscious, kindest, most compassionate people are in the entertainment industry, people who want to affect the world and make it a better place through telling human, heartfelt stories.
Rainn Wilson
We live in a really sexist culture, that's got to be addressed. And a really homophobic one. And all those things need to be addressed and looked at.
Rainn Wilson
Life is suffering. Life is not resistance to suffering. The point of life is to suffer. This is why we're here: We're here to suffer. I believe in a higher power that compassionately allows suffering for us as a race, to grow and mature.

This is one doodle that can't be un-did, Homeskillet.

I think that actors are terrible communicators as people by and large. I think our tendency is to kind of be self-centered and tune people out and just kind of get really me-focused, so I think communication for actors is a big challenge actually.
Rainn Wilson
The great challenge working on this show for me is wearing polyester all day long and having the worst haircut known to man at the top of my head and sitting under fluorescent lights. That is America, people. Polyester, bad haircuts, under fluorescent lights.
Rainn Wilson
The Baha'i celebrity, or the Belebrity, is a character actor with a big head playing an annoying creep on a TV show.
Rainn Wilson
I think definitely people know me from playing creeps and weirdos, and I'm definitely looking to expand my range.
Rainn Wilson
The great thing about 'The Office' and it being single-camera and the documentary style is that it's mostly a comedy, but 10 percent of it is, we get to show the existential angst that exists in the American workplace.
Rainn Wilson
My dad wanted to name me after Rainier Maria Rilke, the poet.
Rainn Wilson
I am all for controlling guns.
Rainn Wilson
I think God has a tremendous sense of humor.
Rainn Wilson
(In) most cop shows, every cop in the squad speaks exactly the same and the same kind of short clipped film noir-ish talk.
Rainn Wilson
Absolutely. I am a father, and I know best. If there's any question, just ask me.
