As an actor, you most often play relatively average parts, so to get to play extreme versions of anything, those are the most exciting parts.

More quotes by Neil Patrick Harris
I get to choose things that interest me as opposed to trying to get any job that will have me, which for a vast majority of actors is the case.
Neil Patrick Harris
I've been very fortunate to go from interesting chapter to interesting chapter.
Neil Patrick Harris
'Smurfs' just seemed like a great way to represent a young father to be, guy in a marriage, work in conflict, and I was really interested in the technical CG side of things. I'd never done a movie that I thought would be so physical and yet so precise. So I was intrigued by all of that.
Neil Patrick Harris
Before babies, I worked very hard to make sure I understood my surroundings and figured out where I fit in the world, whether it was at work or in a social situation.
Neil Patrick Harris
I'm probably my biggest critic. I worry that if you spend any quality time reveling in good things then karma will slap you upside the head, so I try to stay as even keel as I'm able.
Neil Patrick Harris
You can't just put gay in a little gay box anymore.
Neil Patrick Harris
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.
Neil Patrick Harris
Oh sure, now you like him [after the audience applaud David Oyelowo].
Neil Patrick Harris
Being able to live my life transparently does empower me to feel like I can be myself more. It's easier for me to flirt with girls now that girls know that I'm gay. It almost makes it a sexier encounter than if I was trying to pretend that I was straight.
Neil Patrick Harris
What I enjoy so much about the Tonys' uniqueness is that anyone who's tuning in has an interest in seeing the show, so our job is halfway done.
Neil Patrick Harris
I'm very interested in starting to produce, and direct, and have an umbrella over an entire project in the future. I'd like to have control over what the characters do. I think as an actor, you get a little too caught up in the moment-to-moment, beat-to-beat stuff to have perspective.
Neil Patrick Harris
I've been very fortunate to go from interesting chapter to interesting chapter. I've always enjoyed the process and always enjoyed working more really than the end result of what it achieves. I'm more interested in doing the work.

This next presenter is so lovely you could eat her up with a spoon
Neil Patrick Harris
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.
Neil Patrick Harris
I pride myself in being able to straddle demographics and if that was said as Barney Stinson it would mean a little different thing.
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
I've done plenty of daredeviling - from white-water rafting to bungee jumping. But I think the most fearless was hosting the Emmy Awards. It was overwhelming, and I definitely had to leave fear at the door.
Neil Patrick Harris
I don't feel ignored. But I'd rather engage readers than dictate my opinion to them. Opinion is so...subjective!
Neil Patrick Harris
Thankfully, the meat of the Tony telecast is the performances from the shows, so the awards show kind of creates itself around the season, and then I fill in based on the vibe of the season in general. I'm happy that there'll be so many legitimately good performances on the show.
Neil Patrick Harris
I love technology. I buy all of the stuff when they come out first.
Neil Patrick Harris
