I’m a believer in trusting the director.

I do not have very much office experience.

Good comics gravitate to each other; you know who’s your type of person by watching them onstage, hopefully.

‘The Office’ is less a comedy than so many other ‘comedies’ that have been on the air. It’s really about the balance between what is real and what is comic.
Travel is impossible, but daydreaming about travel is easy.

Different people have different styles, but there is an opportunity as a director to be a writer in every moment, with every visual cue and every piece of production design. Everything is a decision, and everything can be obsessed over.
