I was this weird misfit guy from suburban Seattle, I never really fit in, and then I became a drama geek, among all the other different kinds of geek that I was growing up, and I found I was pretty good at it.

More quotes by Rainn Wilson
I've actually rented Bjork's swan dress. I know that's kind of recycling, but I saw An Inconvenient Truth.
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.

My mom was an actress in the local Seattle theater doing experimental plays.
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.
Rainn Wilson
I don't want to sound pretentious, but I love art, I like to go to museums, and I like to read books.
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
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.

I think meditation helps greatly with creativity. If it's a pure expression of yourself no matter what it is or what medium, it's going to shine. It's going to resonate.

Music is universal too. Even deaf people like to dance, love rhythm, and can kind of pick it up.

(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
In every decade rock and roll starts to get very serious and navel gazing and kind of self serious and every once and a while it kind of needs a kick in the pants.
Rainn Wilson
Scotland is the Canada of England!
Rainn Wilson
A lot of actors are just like la la la - they're never really connected and then they're in the scene and then boom. They're looking you in the eyes and they're just really focused.
Rainn Wilson
I know what I look like - a weird, sad clown puppet. I'm fine with that.
Rainn Wilson
There was one point in high school actually when I was on the chess team, marching band, model United Nations and debate club all at the same time. And I would spend time with the computer club after school. And I had just quit pottery club, which I was in junior high, but I let that go.
Rainn Wilson
Creativity is absolutely for everyone. I firmly believe this. I think if you're the driest accountant with the plastic pocket pen protector it's in how you interact with the world. There is artistry in everything that we do and there is expression in everything that we do.
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
My body has been making women laugh for the last 20 years and I'm happy to continue to oblige.
Rainn Wilson
I've always been terrible on regular sitcoms with lots of jokes. I don't know how to tell jokes.

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