I'm pretty sure 'Nutty Professor' will happen to me at some point. And when it does, I will go to the gym.

I've finally gotten to a place where I can say, 'You know what? You didn't think I could do it, people.' But I did it.

I remember I used to come up to my teacher crying because I couldn't read. She would say: 'You can do this. You just don't want to do this.'

I was a university professor, I could talk on and on and on. Give me a podium and you have to drag me off with a hook.

I remember in school once the teacher gave us a speech about anyone can make it if they try, and then she looked at me and said. 'I don't know what you are going to do, Georgie.'

You could mention my name in any hallway in any academic institution and you would have people foaming at the mouth.

Most people know me from 'The Office,' where I played a guy who grunted out three or four words an episode and was kind of a knucklehead, and so I think it's surprising for people to see me do something like this. But Shakespeare is what I grew up wanting to do.

I tell people, 'You can do this.' And they write back and say, 'You were right. I can do this. And now I believe I can do anything.'

I'm like a mad professor, but without the spiky hair.

It takes a strong character for a person to say, 'I can't do it.'
