flawless incredibly recent
For me, 'Arrested Development' is the cornerstone of recent television comedy. It's so incredibly flawless and perfect.
incredibly looks notice people work
It looks like I've been smart about it, but truly, I've been incredibly lucky to have the right people notice me and want to work with me.
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.
'The Office' is not one of those things you move away from. I don't want it to go away.
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.
allow held jobs studio waiter yoga
I held down as many jobs as I could find, from being a waiter to working at a yoga studio and as a ticket-taker at a small theater company - anything that would allow me to go out and do auditions.
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.
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.
credits waiter wednesday work
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.'
considered george sex work
I don't think I'll ever be comfortable being considered a sex symbol, especially after you work with someone like George Clooney.
ask depth era known life name people question sad understand
When people ask if I'm going to be sad that 'The Office' is over, they don't even understand the depth of that question for me. It's an era of my life. No one would have known my name if it wasn't for the show.
