That space between the white lines, that's my office. That's where I conduct my business.

I don't have an office. I sit in a cubicle with everybody else. That's partly so no one can ask for an office, which in a fast-growing company isn't practical. But it's also so I can keep my finger on the pulse of how people are feeling.

Well, one of the things I love about 'The Office' is that it has so much heart.

I tend to be really spacey, but I don't think it's because I'm unintelligent - it's just my imagination and a little bit of ADD.

You would be amazed how many people call my office looking for work every day.

Very, very few people actually have long stretches of uninterrupted time at an office.

If somebody comes up to me, it's because they're moved by something I'm moved by. I've never taken a job I didn't love... So when somebody's coming up to me, or they're writing, they're in the same space I am in.

Space is certainly something more complicated than the average person would probably realize. Space is not just an empty background in which things happen.

There's something boring about people who have to go to an office for a living.

The great thing about 'The Office' and it being single-camera and the documentary style is that it's mostly a comedy, but 10 percent of it is, we get to show the existential angst that exists in the American workplace.
