Words matter. These are the best Rainn Wilson Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.

Pretty much anybody who’s ever worked can relate to our show.
I would love to see some comedies about loser women.
I was a total dork in high school.
So much about religion has to do with rigid, sacrosanct preciousness. I don’t live my life that way, and I don’t feel that’s what Baha’u’llah teaches.
My mom was an actress in the local Seattle theater doing experimental plays.
My brain is so anxiety-prone, like a pinball machine. If I don’t get up in the morning and focus my thinking, my breathing, and my being for about 12 minutes, I’m just a screwball all day long.
Music is universal too. Even deaf people like to dance, love rhythm, and can kind of pick it up.
I remember being unemployed and walking the East Village streets for many years, constantly checking my voice mail on pay phones, hoping for an audition.
My body has been making women laugh for the last 20 years and I’m happy to continue to oblige.
I’m lucky to have a wife and a child that keep me grounded.
There’s like ten minutes when it’s like, ‘Okay, wait, who is this guy again?’ And then, you know, I just put on the calculator watch and the glasses, and just be all, you know, inappropriate. And then it just works out fine.
Apparently ‘The Office’ plays in Brazil. Who would’ve thought that Brazilians would identify with a bunch of pasty white Scrantonians in a paper company? But the Brazilians I’ve met have really loved the show.
My dad wanted to name me after Rainier Maria Rilke, the poet.
My dad was always such a frustrated artist. He always worked very hard to support his family, doing a bunch of ridiculous jobs. He wanted to be a painter, but then he also wrote science-fiction novels in his spare time.
My whole thing is I just always wanted to be a working actor and I just wanted to stop waiting tables.
We’ve seen that there are a lot of people out there – teenagers in Topeka, housewives in Long Island, millionaire Internet start-up moguls – that all want to connect with each other about what it is to be human.
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.
Singing and dancing is not just for the cast of ‘Glee’. We can wake up doing both and have it be a natural expression of who we are.

One thing I really want to do is – I spent ten years in New York doing theater before I moved to L.A. to do TV and film. I’d really like to go to back New York and do some theater.
Ralph Waldo Emerson would definitely be my homeboy.
Dwight is a sad clown. You’ve seen those paintings of sad clown.
I think Dwight loves being number two. I don’t think he has any desire to be number one. He wants to be number two no matter where he goes. It’s like Avis. ‘We try harder.’ That’s Dwight.
I came to realize I did believe in God. I couldn’t conceive of a universe without someone overseeing it in a compassionate way.
Well, Dwight was born to be No. 2 and I don’t think he would know what to do as a leader. But he loves following. He would have made a great fascist.
‘SoulPancake’ is a website that I founded with a couple of friends, and it is for exploring life’s big questions.
I think we’re the only jokeless show on television. I mean really, we have no setups and no punch lines. It’s not a joke show. There are funny lines and funny moments but again the comedy is born of the human experience and awkward pauses are a great part of what it is to be human.

What’s interesting is the show allows for the awkward pauses to be captured, which makes it stylistically unique, especially for American audiences.
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.
