I credit NTI, truthfully, with everything as far as where my head is and what my goals are and dreams are. I would say it was probably one of the most influential moments of my life, being there.

'The Office' is not one of those things you move away from. I don't want it to go away.

Sadly, I'm one of those people who emotionally puts things off and then gets caught very blindsided at the end.

No matter what a guy says, if he shows up at all the places you're at, he's hooked.

This is the time for me to step out and show that I don't just want to play the nice guy roles, and I think I'll find out what my limits are.

I used to make fun of my friends who had BlackBerries. And I know that the expression CrackBerry has been going around, but now I fully understand it. I'm actually addicted to a piece of machinery, and that's really embarrassing.

I know I'm guilty of and I think a lot of people are guilty of sort of getting starry-eyed with love and sort of looking over the bad things and keep going and you don't really prepare for how much work marriage really is.

Hearing anyone think that I'm any form of sexy or handsome is incredibly flattering.

The real drawback when you write with a partner is that where you want it to go and where they want it to go is similar, but not exactly lined up, and that's where it's going to lead you into trouble.

The way the British 'Office' got away with being so dark was that it only had 13 episodes. There are realistic elements that people obviously enjoy, but they don't necessarily want to relive the trials and tribulations of their average work day.

I got fired from being a lunch-shift bartender because I had a reading of a play.

I went to Dave Eggers with this idea of doing a movie about a guy going through some sort of Frank Capra-esque journey.

When people ask if I'm going to be sad that 'The Office' is over, they don't even understand the depth of that question for me. It's an era of my life. No one would have known my name if it wasn't for the show.

I wanted to be an English teacher. I wanted to do it for the corduroy jackets with patches on the side. When I got to college, as I was walking across campus one day, I ripped off a little flyer for this sketch-comedy group. It ended up being one of the greatest things I've ever done.

Trophies and medals have never meant much to me. I've had amazing experiences, which let you feel like you've accomplished something.

For me, there are worse things than being pigeonholed as the nice guy.

I've fallen in love with shows like 'Homeland' and 'The Wire.' And I think 'The Office' is in a category like that.

I held down as many jobs as I could find, from being a waiter to working at a yoga studio and as a ticket-taker at a small theater company - anything that would allow me to go out and do auditions.

If there was ever someone to look up to, it's Tom Hanks.

Directing was a great experience, but it's terrifying to have the responsibility of carving up the other actors' performances.

I've never been someone who dates all that much - I'm more of a serial monogamist.

It looks like I've been smart about it, but truly, I've been incredibly lucky to have the right people notice me and want to work with me.

I know I'll never be put in the position of making the adulterous mistake, but there are mistakes along the way that are as complicated, that get blown out of proportion because you're not willing to admit that you've made them.

I don't go out - ever. I'm lucky enough to have awesome friends, and we always end up at someone's house. We're big house-party guys.
