Rainn Wilson

Oh, I love you.

My daughter loves you.

My son loves you.

We love... Like, there's all this... But it's not really love.

They really love getting entertained by the character that I play, which is one small cog in this big machine called The Office.

So, that is a mind trip.

I would say...

If you are unhappy and you are wired for unhappiness and you are making life choices that kind of keep you in an unhappy mode, ungrateful mode, uncontent mode, a discontent mode, it doesn't matter what the circumstances are.

You're going to be unhappy and discontent and imbalanced.

And guess what?

That kind of contentment, that kind of like true, that solidity of wellbeing, it can't be fixed from anything outside of yourself.

So I was discontent and unhappy and a scrappy, unemployed, broke actor.

you know yeah and um trying to make my next rent in fact i would say about um i don't know nine months before i got cast on the office like we were so broke that i had to pay rent by putting it on my credit card and uh

What is this, 2005, 2006?

Yeah, 2004.

That was like late 2003, early 2004.

And so if you're discontent, you'll be happy no matter what the circumstances.

So then I become famous and then I have all this money and movie opportunities and lots of doors opening for me all of a sudden for the first time in my life.

You know, heads of movie studios are like, we want to really meet with Rainn Wilson.

We love his stuff.
