Neil Patrick Harris Quotations

I feel like with actors wanting to direct, you really only have a shot or two. You can't just make a bunch of little independent movies, and then finally one gets noticed. You have to make a really good one right away.

I sort of pride myself in my dissatisfaction with my work. I've always been concerned with buying the hype, and having that make your performances suffer.

You have to be careful when you're doing an interview.

I have actual strong ideas. You just have to wait for the right timing. Timing is pretty crucial here. I can't dedicate a lot of energy and efforts trying to, say, create a show that I want to produce while I'm currently on another show.

I'm wildly impressed with the diversity of gay roles.

If I'm doing some weird tick with my mouth, or not standing still or something, I'll be the first person to notice it, and then want to change that. I think it's important just to maintain trajectory, to not just use your same tricks over and over.

I don't care about my "impact" - I only care about the theater as an art form and criticism as an act of writing.

Babies just change everything. You have to become super selfless and super tired and super amenable to change. They just change all the time.

I don't like to be disparaging about my past roles. That's the only taboo that I don't like to cross.

I regret not dancing more, just cutting loose on the dance floor. I still admire those who don't care much about what others think of them.
