More quotes by Neil Patrick Harris
I'd love to be some sort of villain in a big-budget action movie. Or a superhero franchise. That'd be rad.
Neil Patrick Harris
If you don't have any ties to the music industry, you just love 'American Idol,' you can sit there and do exactly what you do in your living room, which is stare at them and judge them.

We're blessed on 'How I Met Your Mother' to feel like we're doing a bit of a funny playlet everyday.

On MTV, the dialogue can be a little darker, more interesting and edgy... the animation is just phenomenal. It's a CGI program that's doing all the animation.

Neil Patrick Harris
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.
Neil Patrick Harris
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.
Neil Patrick Harris
He's easily the most well-adjusted former child star in the room, please welcome... Jason Bateman.
Neil Patrick Harris
Theater for me is about enduring human truth. Special effects can be part of that, but when they obscure what is the reason we come to theater - to see reflections of our confounded humanity - the theater has lost its way.
Neil Patrick Harris
I've been taking a trapeze class for the last couple of years. I'm working on my double back flip right now.
Neil Patrick Harris
In my 20s, I mostly ate burritos and nachos, with the occasional burger.

I have more artistic control in a smaller show. But it doesn't really matter. Sometimes you can have the smallest role in the smallest production and still make a big impact.
Neil Patrick Harris
I've been very fortunate to go from interesting chapter to interesting chapter.
