Michael Schur Quotes

I don’t know why anybody does anything in the world of television Picture Quote #1

It’s all about media culture and people on television, and that feeling comfortable, friendly, or warm toward a candidate [in the elections] is a reason people would emotionally attach themselves to that candidate. I get the mechanics of it, I just hate that it’s true Picture Quote #1

There’s going to be a lot of people that don’t like you, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Instead of trying to win them over one by one, you need to do things that are getting huge swaths of votes [in the elections] Picture Quote #1

My favorite TV show of all time is ‘The Wire,’ which has the feeling of a project-based show. You draw in people from disparate parts of the world, and they have to work together to achieve a goal Picture Quote #1

My favorite sitcom of all time is ‘Cheers.’ That’s a perfect example of how, like, people made fun of Cliff, but you never got the sense that they didn’t like Cliff Picture Quote #1

People think of taxes as money just being robbed from you. They don’t consider the benefits of paying taxes. The benefits that they get and also the benefit of just being a part of a large group of people: a town, or a city, or a country, or a society that allegedly should stand together and all try to help each other Picture Quote #1

For storytelling purposes, there has to be conflict, but that doesn’t mean the people have to be mean. I’ve never liked mean-spirited comedy Picture Quote #1

You can’t achieve anything entirely by yourself. There’s a support system that is a basic requirement of human existence. To be happy and successful on earth, you just have to have people that you rely on Picture Quote #1

If a show ever tries to be cool, then it’s going to be doing something wrong Picture Quote #1

I love crazy names. It comes right from Monty Python and Woody Allen - nothing in the world makes me giggle more than a funny name. It became a thing I started doing when I wrote. If a person came into a store and said, How much is this apple? that person would have an insane name Picture Quote #1

People don’t seem to make the connection between their tax money and the benefits that they get from their tax money, like free education, and the fire department, and police protection, and everything else. It drives me bonkers, because it’s pretty straightforward to me Picture Quote #1

If the doors aren’t open, just kick them in and keep walking Picture Quote #1

I care more about making sure the story is correct and the characters are behaving in character than I do about the individual jokes Picture Quote #1

It’s so much easier to write for an actor than for an imaginary character and then try to fit that character to an actor. It doesn’t work very often in my experience Picture Quote #1

Society is completely unreasonable. People want everything and want to pay for nothing. They panic if they think about their taxes being raised, but if their garbage collection is a day late they scream and yell Picture Quote #1
