I love Buster Keaton. I was a big fan of the stunt shows at Universal Studios. I’m a huge Cirque du Soleil nut.
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.
When she is three, you catch her singing Miley Cyrus’s “Wrecking Ball,” a song nobody should sing until they’re at least dead.
For me, magic can be a story, a game, a puzzle, or a surprise that takes my breath away in a single, furious gulp.
For others, magic is a crisp autumn’s day or a tender hug from a loved one.
The tots both started laughing. On the same day. I’m now obsessed with getting them to do it. Babies laughing is like opium.
Sometimes as a doctor, the best treatment is no treatment at all. But today was definitely not one of those times. RIP, van full of senior citizens. Next time I’ll use medicine.
So pluck up your courage and take that risk! Add another story to the book of your life. Even if it doesn’t go the way you planned or wanted, you’ll still learn from it. Adventure.
You experience them experiencing pure magic, unadulterated by cynicism or irony or self-consciousness. And as the ride makes its full circle, so do you, until Peter Pan has done it again, and you are once more a child, taking it all in, amazed, overwhelmed, enchanted.
Some would say you were in a closet. Some would say you didn’t even know you were in a house. The “truth” about a person’s sexual preference is often revealed through a long journey of tiny steps, and acceptance is one of the last ones. It’s an individual story for every person. There are unique personal prejudices in everyone, created by our families, our social circles, and mostly by ourselves. It’s tough to confront those things that you are afraid of in yourself.
To the kids, David is “Daddy” and you’re “Papa”. You find it a more convenient system of nomenclature than “Daddy 1” and “Daddy 2”, or “Sinners A and B.
