Hey Steve,

If you could portray any character in fiction, who would it be?

What's it like knowing that you've portrayed an abrasive milquetoast so well that if I met you in real life I might actually throttle you (I have the same problem with Paul Reiser, actually)?

What exactly made you want to do a remake of the GetSmart series? From what I can tell, your brand of humor is way more clever than the outdated slapstick-ery of Get Smart...

Who was the most inspirational person in your life?

If the "Office" were real and you got one free shot to hit, punch, or inflict pain on one character, who would you strike, and how would you do it? Uppercut? Scalding iron to the face? Details please

Did you ever imagine that you, Steven Colbert & Jon Stewart would be enjoying the sucess you are now back in the early years of Stewart hosting the Daily Show?

Does playing awkward or mentally handicapped characters all the time ever make you feel particularly awkward or mentally handicapped? Because I love the comedy, but even 'ol Steven Colbert has said he gets tired of the act sometimes.

are you anything at all like michael scott? and how do you stay composed during those long pauses before you stare into the camera with a dead serious face on "The Office"? It is one of the funniest moments in current TV.

When you were in 'The Office', did you look to Ricky Gervais' origional potrayal of your character for inspiration, or was it your mainly your own interpretation of him?

Is comedy something that comes naturaly to you or is it something you have to work at. Do you have to stand in front of a mirror for example and practice certain faces or the timing of your punchlines?

Steve, when and why you decide to put your actor skills into comedy?

What's the most unique/funniest question that you've ever had to answer and what was your answer?

Do you ever want to move beyond comedy to do more dramatic roles? Also, what do you like doing more - TV or movies?

Steve,
How much of your own personal comedic influence goes into the actual writing and direction of the "The Office" and your movies?

What is a normal day like walking in your shoes?

Do you feel that people laugh at what you say because it's actually funny or just because your Steve Carrell

You have a lot of choices in your career these days and the clout to do what you want. How important is "keeping it clean" to how you want your career to lean?

When you're faced with an awkward situation in real life, do you find yourself looking into an imaginary camera, a la "The Office"?

Growing up what did you want to be?

Steve, what's it all about?

What's it all about?
