“The improv stuff, that's always surprising so a lot of times that's really funny.” Quote by Ed Helms
“One of the biggest breaks we had actually, one of the biggest, the hardest I laughed on the movie [The Hangover] was the baby was just doing ridiculous things and making hilarious faces. But I'm sitting there and I'm supposed to be having this exchange with Zach [ Galifianakis] and the baby is like staring at me with these huge eyes and acting, and just making the most cerebral faces, and I could not keep it together.” EyeTogetherFacesActingBreakHugeBabySittingRidiculousHardestSupposed To BeStaringLaughedHangoverCerebralRidiculous Things Author:Ed Helms
“I'm sort of laughing and so Zach [ Galifianakis] started laughing [on the set of The Hangover]. And Todd [Phillips] was baffled because what we were saying wasn't that funny, you know what I mean? And it was like all the baby's face. So Todd was like, 'What is going on? Get it together guys.'” KnowsMeanTogetherFacesGuyLaughingBabyHangoverBaffledGet It Together Author:Ed Helms
“It's a very collaborative environment [making The Office]. We always do takes of how it's scripted, but then we also mix it up a lot too. And it's kind of a crapshoot, you never know which one... I mean a lot of time improvisation doesn't go anywhere and it's not good at all but, so what was written is often times better.” KnowsKindMeanEnvironmentWrittenOfficeImprovisation Author:Ed Helms
“The biggest thing that comes out of improv that gets built on is just character traits. You know, for me the singing was born out of improv.” KnowsCharacterBornSingingBuiltTraitsCharacter Trait Author:Ed Helms
“A lot of kind of like the way that Andy [Bernard] talks, you know, the writers pick up on those things - little moments that I inject and then they start to write it in later. It's hard to say if a whole storyline is spun out of an improv. I feel like it has happened on The Office, I just can't think of it.” IfsThinkingKnowsWayFeelsWritingKindLittlesHardWholeMomentsHappenedOfficePicksSpunStorylineLittle Moments Author:Ed Helms

“We originally actually wrote Franco's part [in the Pineapple Express] for me and the part I ultimately played just for someone else in general.
