John Krasinski quotes about
people
Sadly, I'm one of those people who emotionally puts things off and then gets caught very blindsided at the end.
biggest knew people pretend surrounded talented
Probably the biggest challenge for me as a director was to not show how scared I was. I was surrounded by some of the most talented people in the industry, and I had to pretend I knew what I was doing.
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.
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.
average british elements obviously people realistic relive trials work
The way the British 'Office' got away with being so dark was that it only had 13 episodes. There are realistic elements that people obviously enjoy, but they don't necessarily want to relive the trials and tribulations of their average work day.
hard people throwing
People aren't throwing themselves at me, but I also don't go out very much. Like, when I do go out, it's for breakfast, so it's a little hard to throw yourself at me during breakfast.
definitely good people sure time
I definitely had fun being a waiter. I can't say for sure that I was a good waiter. I think that I made people have a good time.
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.
opportunity thinking people
It's a great wake-up call for our entire industry: What movies are we making? What storytellers are we allowing to tell the stories? What people are we allowing to be cast in those stories? I think we need newer stories, and more people given the opportunity to do anything they want.
thinking people everyday
I think it's a big chance to take to make a movie that's about as something as pure and honest and something people can relate to everyday.
writing people hurtful
For me, anything I do is totally up for conversation and it's not my right to be able to stop a person from writing whatever they want. What's harmful and hurtful is when people speculate.
outlook-on-life work-out people
Most of the people I know who work out seriously do so because they have such an amazing outlook on life. To be who I want to be, I'm going to work out to be more positive, more active. It's proactive.
thinking people guilty
I know I'm guilty of and I think a lot of people are guilty of sort of getting starry-eyed with love and sort of looking over the bad things and keep going and you don't really prepare for how much work marriage really is.
