Sean Hayes Quotations

When I came out of my mom's womb, I had 'sitcom' stamped on my forehead.

So get accomplished what you want to get accomplished in your life. And in the intervals, do what you can to help other people.

No one could have ever dreamed about how well the show would do.

I got one letter at the very beginning, like, in the first season, saying - from a woman who was very religious, very Christian, saying how wrong she thought the show was, but she thinks it's the funniest show on television.

But when I did think about it and looked at the whole package - the producers behind the show, the writers, the cast I would be working with - I would have been a fool to turn it down just because the role for me was another gay role.

I'm a hamster person. No - that's so bizarre, I don't know what that means. Please don't say that. Now everybody is going to go, "Do you like hamsters? Why did you say hamsters? Do you have a collection of hamsters?" I'll never live that down. Please don't use that.

I'm a huge sci-fi/fantasy/horror guy. I love anything in the sci-fi or fantasy genre.

He did a nice job. He's been my No. 1 starter for four years, but his pitch count got too high. If we make a couple plays, he doesn't make as many pitches.

I actually like working with the other three actors on the show.

I think because my life is so insane and it's constantly going at 120 miles per hour, my favorite thing to do is sit at home in front of the TV and check out.

Really, ... our first priority is to make people laugh.

We'll have a class-A facility in four to five years.

We're not saying we have the answer. If we did . . . we would have just made a hit sitcom.

We are really pleased with our results and 69% of students received A to C grade passes.

Through that, I got to know Jerry's work, and I am definitely his number-one fan right now, which is interesting because it usually works the other way around: you usually create a project based on your hero.

Being an actor, the less people know about my personal life, the more open-minded they can be about each role I play.

At the beginning of 'Will and Grace', I played Jack as the funny next-door-neighbor type, as we've seen in the past. And I thought that was my role.

The writers have slowly taken the show, with subjects other gay shows have dived right into, slowly. It was over a year before Will even started to date.

The thing about producing is that the pressure is off of being in front of the camera, and being critiqued and judged in that way, but there are other pressures producing.

They might have a long way to go before truly accepting gay people into their lives, but they have accepted the show into their living rooms each and every week.

You don't have a face to work with, so your voice has to do all the work until you see the animation. So, a lot of it I had to pull back because it was too big.

I tripped making my entrance, knocked over the light and caught the set on fire,

No, my entire life is planned. It's called time management.

Slowly, people are seeing outside the box and realizing that I became an actor to play other roles, not just one role for the rest of my life.

I'm nervous and scared, but it should also be fun.

I like to be busy and I like to have places to go in the morning, when I get up.

I have the most nervous stomach in the world.

And so, I think when I got to college, you discover who you are and find yourself more than you did before.

And I'm OK being judged as an actor.

And I'd like to believe that's true, you know, kind of showing gay people in this kind of light and - where it's not about that, it's just about the characters for the first time, like those shows were.
