I remember when I saw ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,’ I wanted to go out and direct a movie right there on the streets of Manhattan. Unfortunately, you can’t without permits. – John Krasinski
I taught English in Costa Rica before I went to college. I’m not an especially outdoorsy guy, but sometimes I would spot wildlife while whitewater rafting or walking in the rainforest at 5 A.M. – John Krasinski
I admire him so much; if I was ever going to have a dude-crush, it would be on George Clooney. I mean, I don’t think you can avoid it. It’s like a superpower – he just sucks anybody in around him. – John Krasinski
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. – John Krasinski
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. – John Krasinski
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. – John Krasinski
The perfect gadget would somehow allow me to fly. Isn’t that what everybody wants? It would also cook a damn good microwave pizza. So while in flight you had something to eat – an in-flight meal. Where would I go? Well, nowadays, it would probably just take me to work a lot quicker. – John Krasinski
I learned that the best way to work is to allow the scene to live on its own before making major adjustments, whether in rehearsal or on film. – John Krasinski
To me, it seems like both ‘Brief Interviews’ and ‘The Office’ deal with characters that see themselves differently than the world sees them. – John Krasinski
I was a waiter before ‘The Office,’ so to me, this was a winning lottery ticket. Everything about my life has changed. – John Krasinski
Most of the people I know who work out seriously do so because they have such an amazing outlook on life. To be who I want to be, I’m going to work out to be more positive, more active. It’s proactive. – John Krasinski
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. – John Krasinski
All relationships are a learning experience, even ones you continue to be in. If you don’t see them as that, then that’s a problem. – John Krasinski
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. – John Krasinski
I’ve always loved those movies where somebody really wants something, and then the thing they want is right in front of them. – John Krasinski
By being a waiter 100 percent, I think I was a lot like any other actor in New York. I had credits because I’d work lunches during the week, and then on a Wednesday would go be lucky enough to be in a movie like ‘Kinsey.’ – John Krasinski
