front movies somebody
I've always loved those movies where somebody really wants something, and then the thing they want is right in front of them.
both characters deal sees themselves
To me, it seems like both 'Brief Interviews' and 'The Office' deal with characters that see themselves differently than the world sees them.
among centre few hit home humans large legendary newton oak park playground
There's a large oak tree in the Newton Centre park playground that is legendary because only a few humans have hit it with a baseball from home plate, and B.J. Novak is among them. And I was there that day.
guy limits time
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.
average british elements obviously people realistic relive trials work
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.
drawback exactly lead lined partner
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.
huge indie kids
I was one of those kids who had never seen an indie film before I got to college. If it wasn't a big, huge tentpole movie, or if it wasn't on the radio, I hadn't experienced it.
life lottery waiter
I was a waiter before 'The Office,' so to me, this was a winning lottery ticket. Everything about my life has changed.
along blown position proportion willing
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.
failed god survive
I had done one failed pilot. I remember, when it failed, I was like, 'Oh my God, how does someone survive this? That's it - that's the end of my career; it's over.'
If there was ever someone to look up to, it's Tom Hanks.
english planned teacher
I planned on being an English teacher, but I don't know where that went.
backs good poster rite tattooed
Being from Boston, I think we have to get the 'Good Will Hunting' poster tattooed on our backs when we're like 16 or 17; it's just a rite of passage. That movie is so, so, so huge.
beginnings brown taken
I had never taken acting at Brown to be the beginnings of a career. I always did it just for fun.
