Brian Baumgartner quotes:

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

I come from straight theater.

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.

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