More quotes by 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 have an eight-year-old child, and I literally can't wrap my mind around the kind of grief that must be felt when you lose a child.

Music is universal too. Even deaf people like to dance, love rhythm, and can kind of pick it up.
Rainn Wilson
I'm about as big a star as the Baha'i faith has got, which is pretty pathetic.
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.

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.

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
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.
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 like being a Baha'i who has an out-there sense of humor. God gives us talents and faculties, and making people laugh is one of mine.
Rainn Wilson
The making of art is no different than prayer.
Rainn Wilson
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. You could look inside of yourself and you could have a canvas and you could paint a dot in it, but if that is where your creative purpose is taking you then it needs to be that dot.
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 don't want to sound pretentious, but I love art, I like to go to museums, and I like to read books.
