Michael Scott is someone with an enormous emotional blind spot. He is someone who truly does not understand how others perceive him. And if he did gain any knowledge, his head would explode. He would not be able to... He wouldn't be able to take in all of that information because it's just – certain people exist on a different level.

And they are only able to exist because they're in a sense of denial about who they are or how other people view them. And I think that's who he is. But he's not a bad guy. I think he's – He's a caring person. He wants what's best, but he doesn't always do the best things in order to achieve what he hopes to achieve.

I think for me it stemmed mostly from various teachers that I had growing up because many teachers that I've had, especially fifth, sixth, seventh grade, would be people who were trying to be as cool as the students or wanted the students to think that they were cool. But – Indeed, they were not. And the harder they tried, the less cool they would appear to be.

And that's basically what Michael is up against. He thinks people think he's cool. He thinks people like him and think he's funny and charming. But he's really none of those things.

And incidentally, when you say everyone knows a Michael Scott, I guess the rule of thumb, Ricky Gervais told me this in regards to the character that he played, David Brent, in the BBC version of The Office, is that if you don't know a Michael Scott, then you are Michael Scott.

So better that you actually have a frame of reference for a Michael Scott.
