Benedict Cumberbatch is not only the best name in show business, it’s also the response you get when you ask John Travolta to pronounce Ben Affleck.
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 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.

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.
