I don’t care about my “impact” – I only care about the theater as an art form and criticism as an act of writing.
Jim Henson was the only piece of fan mail I ever wrote when I was a little kid.
Mr. Steven Bochco is a very wise man. After a many-monthed nationwide search to find a precocious teenage doctor, he hired me.
Tobey’s a mellow, cool guy. He’s just a good guy. I know that’s not the answer you want, and I don’t mean that as the political thing to say, but he’s a nice guy.
We’re in such a volatile climate right now politically. I think they didn’t want Assassins to not succeed due to popular opinion and politics, versus on its own merits. I can respect that.
I love the ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ show. I love it. I think it’s some of the best hours on TV.
This next presenter is so lovely you could eat her up with a spoon.
I think when dance is mediocre, it’s painful. But when dance is really impressive, it destroys.
I’m a big proponent of monogamous relationships regardless of sexuality, and I’m proud of how the nation is steering toward that.
I’m a very lucky man in this chapter of my professional life, ’cause I get to do jobs with wildly different skill sets.
I’m not trying to climb a ladder – I’m casting a bit of a net.
I’m in a play on Broadway, I have an animated TV show coming up, I have a few movies that just came out.
When I auditioned for the show, I didn’t realize it was an MTV production, which is going to make for really good tunes during the episodes, if nothing else.
I pride myself in being able to straddle demographics, and if that was said as Barney Stinson, it would mean a little different thing.
I’m not the best cruise ship crooner. I’m not the best karaoke guy.
With the Tonys it’s a little tricky because a lot of the funnier jokes are more insider, so people watching at home may not get a Julie Taymor reference the way that New Yorkers would. So you have to figure out what comedy plays to a large audience and still respect the individuals who are there.
We’re blessed on ‘How I Met Your Mother’ to feel like we’re doing a bit of a funny playlet everyday.
The theater is reaching as many different demographics as it can now.
I enjoy darker sardonic wit more than knock-knock jokes. I spent the first healthy chunk of my career playing all-American, pleasant, average, nice people, so it’s fun to have some complications there.
I’m a games and theory kind of guy. I love puzzles, so it was fun dissecting Shakespeare’s prose.
I grew up being educated by Sesame Street and gained a sense of humor from The Muppet Show. I’d give my right foot to be able to do a scene or two with the Muppets.
