I've always been a fan of space exploration, and I filled our entire office with space artifacts.
I don't really have any women in my life, actually those two - the women in my life are two married women who work at my office.
One of my first memories of being a kid was, 'I want to have a real job when I grow up.' And to me that meant you wear a suit and a hat and carry a briefcase and go to your job.
Sometimes I work in my office, just reading material, meeting writers, working on scripts. Other times, I'm on location. There's a lot of variety.
I wasn't prepared for this big room with clattering typewriters and teletype printers. You could hardly hear yourself think.
Just because the office is casual doesn't mean you shouldn't make an effort.
I liked interacting with students. I liked having coworkers. For a long time, I was really worried that sitting at home by myself in front of a computer was going to make me crazy.
Nine to Five is actually one of my favorite movies. I watched it a thousand times when I was a child, literally a thousand times.
I get up in the morning, get to the office, and write until about six o'clock in the evening.
I've been in office and I've been out of office. And if I were to choose, I'd rather be in office.
I think an office is just a microcosm of life and the different kinds of people that you will come across and interactions there, and I think if you all sit in a room together, then it gets a bit more intense and fun for people to watch, maybe.
I think many businesses will allow their employees to work from home. The main challenge here is how to make sure Zoom will give a better and safer experience to users than compared to that in an office environment.
I thought that I'd have a briefcase-and-power-suit career.
Retaining a sense of control is really important. I like to do things in my own time, and in my own style, so an office with targets and bureaucracy just wouldn't work.
A work-only zone does wonders for your productivity. So, I prefer working at the office now. I spend 8 focused hours there, then I go home to be present with my family.
I don't like getting up in the morning, getting in a car, driving on a freeway, and stopping at a gate where two guards are standing there, then walk into a studio that looks like a bunch of airplane hangars.
I am very lucky in my team. They sit opposite me, and I get to see them every day sitting there staring at the seating chart, not doing much. It is almost like a chess game.
Remember, if you sit at your desk for 15 or 20 years, every day, not counting weekends, it changes you. It just does. It may not improve your temper, but it fixes something else. It makes you more free.
The show is called 'The Office,' and while it focuses on the people, the architecture of the space is very important.
I hadn't really worked in an office before Shutterstock, so I didn't have the experience of building a culture, nor did I understand how important that is for attracting and retaining the best talent.
I can't focus when there's too many things around. Whenever I used to go to the office, I used to always say, 'Tidy up.'
The office-as-playground trend was made famous by Google and has spread like an infection across the tech industry. Work can't just be work; work has to be fun.
I graduated from university with a degree in architecture and then ended up doing a series of internships with different firms. And once I was in an office environment, I realized that at school what I was doing was 98 percent creative, 2 percent makework, but in the real world, it was the other way around.
I would have been a nightmare in any kind of office, because I wouldn't have had any friends in any environment other than performing.
I yield to no one in my admiration for the office as a social center, but it's no place actually to get any work done.
