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.

You meet people in Hollywood that are famous, and you're not sure what they got famous for.
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.

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

Not everything is a lesson. Sometimes you just fail.

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 making of art is no different than prayer.

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
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've actually rented Bjork's swan dress. I know that's kind of recycling, but I saw An Inconvenient Truth.
Rainn Wilson
I know what I look like - a weird, sad clown puppet. I'm fine with that.
Rainn Wilson
Some of the biggest movie stars in the world are essentially characters.
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 don't want to sound pretentious, but I love art, I like to go to museums, and I like to read books.
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.
