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.

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 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.
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
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
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
My mom was an actress in the local Seattle theater doing experimental plays.
Rainn Wilson
I want to keel over on stage playing King Lear at age 99 or something like that.

This is one doodle that can't be un-did, Homeskillet.
Rainn Wilson
Some of the biggest movie stars in the world are essentially characters.
Rainn Wilson
Absolutely. I am a father, and I know best. If there's any question, just ask me.
Rainn Wilson
I think God has a tremendous sense of humor.
Rainn Wilson
My dad wanted to name me after Rainier Maria Rilke, the poet.
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
Dwight is a sad clown. You've seen those paintings of sad clown.
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.
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
I started in theatre, and for me, it was all about transformation. You transform into the character that you're playing.
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'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
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
