Dwight is a sad clown. You've seen those paintings of sad clown.

I know what I look like - a weird, sad clown puppet. I'm fine with that.

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.

From Rainn Wilson

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.

From Rainn Wilson

I've always been terrible on regular sitcoms with lots of jokes. I don't know how to tell jokes.

From Rainn Wilson

Pretty much anybody who's ever worked can relate to our show.

Scotland is the Canada of England!

From Rainn Wilson

The great challenge working on this show for me is wearing polyester all day long and having the worst haircut known to man at the top of my head and sitting under fluorescent lights. That is America, people. Polyester, bad haircuts, under fluorescent lights.

From Rainn Wilson

There was one point in high school actually when I was on the chess team, marching band, model United Nations and debate club all at the same time. And I would spend time with the computer club after school. And I had just quit pottery club, which I was in junior high, but I let that go.

From Rainn Wilson

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.
