3. SOUNDBITE (English) John Krasinski/Actor, explains why he is involved in the 100 Gala:
"You know, I think I share with everyone in this room and everyone in the world, really, that I've been affected by it through friends and family. The fight against cancer is something that affects everybody. And so for me, to be a part of an event like this for the hospital like this, I mean, to be a part of Mass General's The One Hundred is a huge deal, because these people who we're recognizing tonight are from all walks of life. It's not just doctors and scientists and the people who are on the cutting edge of research and development."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) John Krasinski/Actor, on his closeness with fellow actors from Boston:
"I think there's sort of an unspoken secret language or something with people from Boston. I think there's definitely that connection whether you're in our industry or any reason. I think when you go outside of Boston, whether it's throughout this country or throughout the world, when you meet someone from Boston there's an immediate connection. There's few things that make us more proud than actually being from this town. I mean, I know I probably would have bumped into Matt (Damon) and Ben (Affleck) and B.J. (Novak) anyway -- B.J. and I went to the same high school -- bumping into Matt and Ben, hopefully I would have bumped into them anyway, but being from Boston there's definitely a shorthand there that makes being friends a lot easier."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) John Krasinski/Actor, on life after 'The Office': "It's been really weird to be honest! It's hard. It's hard not only to let go of a show like that and a character like that, but to me, I got the job when I was 23-years-old. It's an era. I was on that show for 10 years, so it's an era of my life that I'm missing now. So I miss my friends and I miss the routine and I miss, basically, my introduction into this business. And it gave me everything. Gave me every opportunity. I owe it everything."
8. Medium of Blunt and Krasinski laughing on the red carpet
9. SOUNDBITE (English) John Krasinski/Actor, on what's next for him:
"I think I'm going to continue to do what I started doing with 'Promised Land' with Matt, which is writing and producing and being a part of the creative process of developing stories and ideas, whether it be television or film, because it's really fun and there's a lot of opportunity to do that nowadays. The business has changed so much and there's so many different avenues you can go down, whether it is TV, film, now there's Internet content, there's all sorts of things to be a part of, and really when you get to have control over what you're doing and who you're doing it with, it makes it the most fun, so I'll just keep doing that."
