Brian Baumgartner Quotations

I do have a childlike enthusiasm at times. I certainly enjoy life and get pleasure sometimes in childish things.

For me, it was a lot of hard work doing theater eight nights a week around the country, going from job to job.

For me, it is about creating a career - I'm very interested in the sports side and want to continue to do more stuff in that. But ultimately, what I consider myself to be is an actor, and the more variety I can play will continue to round me out.

I had a shih tzu dog for 12 years - we were different in size but he was certainly man's best friend, he was my little guy.

The show is called 'The Office,' and while it focuses on the people, the architecture of the space is very important.

It was really tough as a kid going to a Braves game. It was a guaranteed loss. You're looking at 100 losses a year. I was a huge baseball fan, played it for quite a while. But when '91 happened, with Smoltz and Glavine, it turned around, and I will say it made it pretty sweet.

Television is certainly a writers-led medium. They're the ones who are there, they're the ones that are conferencing or whatever, with directors coming and going.

The show is called The Office, and while it focuses on the people, the architecture of the space is very important.

I come from straight theater.

I had a Shiatsu dog for 12 years - we were different in size but he was certainly man's best friend, he was my little guy.

I moved to Los Angeles, and 'The Office' became successful, and the charity/cocktail party circuit is really not my scene. But I played golf, and I started getting invited to charity golf events, and I just fell in love with the game ten-fold, and at a lot of these events, there were athletes.
