John Krasinski quotes about
school play community
The only reason why I acted in school was because of the community, like I was in the chorus of every play, I was never really the lead.
school thinking long
It's definitely particular to each situation, but whether it is a long history, or someone that you're intimidated by, or someone that you didn't think you ever had a shot at, at the end of the day, I think we're all living through high school, every day.
patterns adults realizing
In a lot of relationships, when you're an adult, you realize that you've actually just been repeating a pattern. When someone breaks that pattern and it makes you realize what's right or wrong about the person. When you actually have to confront it, that's probably why a lot of adult relationships don't survive.
mom school college
If you did go to high school and then college, there's definitely a solidarity with someone that is from your hometown and knows your mom, and all that stuff. There's this weird politeness that we have, as a society. You don't want to make it hard for anybody.

I'm a sucker where I love shifting tides.
television exciting shows
To me, television is one of the most exciting things going on right now, as far as content goes. Some of these shows that are on television are better than any of the movies out there.
people sense-of-humor stakes
People have a sense of humor, even if it's not a good one, and everybody has stakes.
people creative towns
A lot of times in movies, you see the "small town" people, being bowled over by this creative entity or this corporate ideal, and it's not true, at all.
