Q: “I’m always curious where [Jared’s] love and his ability to
sacrifice comes from. Do you think it’s inherent to his personality? Why does
he love these guys and Pied Piper so much? How did that happen? I don’t get
it.”
ZW: “That’s a good question. I think when Richard decided to turn
down the money, I think for him it was like … a whole other possible world
opened up. I think he thought he was going to live out his days at Hooli being
a second fiddle to Gavin, trapped in this kind of lucrative but unrewarding
corporate existence. But then Richard went rogue and he was just so inspired by
that. I think it’s just indigenous to his personality. And I think I’m talking
about this like it’s Richard III or something – it’s a half hour comedy, I
don’t want to be pretentious about it.
Sometimes in scenes, I’ll think about
it, and if I ever get lost in a scene I’ll just look at Thomas Middleditch and
be like… I love you, I love you, in my head, to try to put myself back in the
character. I think he just loves them. I don’t know why.”
