More quotes by Rainn Wilson
I think definitely people know me from playing creeps and weirdos, and I'm definitely looking to expand my range.
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 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
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 don't want to sound pretentious, but I love art, I like to go to museums, and I like to read books.
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
I've always been terrible on regular sitcoms with lots of jokes. I don't know how to tell jokes.
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
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
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
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
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
I've actually rented Bjork's swan dress. I know that's kind of recycling, but I saw An Inconvenient Truth.
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
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 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.
Rainn Wilson
My dad wanted to name me after Rainier Maria Rilke, the poet.
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
You meet people in Hollywood that are famous, and you're not sure what they got famous for.
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
