My mom was an actress in the local Seattle theater doing experimental plays.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I think God has a tremendous sense of humor.

I've always been terrible on regular sitcoms with lots of jokes. I don't know how to tell jokes.

People are flawed. I like peaking into their flaws. The way to humanize them is not to play them in any general way, but to make them very specific. If you make them specific, they have hopes and dreams and loves and vulnerabilities and quirks and you get to know them and you get to appreciate them.
Rainn Wilson
I am all for controlling guns.
Rainn Wilson
I'm a much better listener when I'm acting than I am as a person in real life because you learn as an actor that listening is so important. You have to really key into what the other person you're acting with is saying and how they're saying it and react in the moment to what is going on.
Rainn Wilson
My body has been making women laugh for the last 20 years and I'm happy to continue to oblige.
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
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.
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
Scotland is the Canada of England!

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
Our society is all about focusing on the externals, These people like me, I'm successful because of these people, they view me as being good and we need to take that vision and instead of expanding it outwards we need to look inside ourselves.
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
I think definitely people know me from playing creeps and weirdos, and I'm definitely looking to expand my range.
Rainn Wilson
I know what I look like - a weird, sad clown puppet. I'm fine with that.
