I was a big fan of how Johnny Carson hosted awards shows. Dick Cavett, as well, I think did a really great job of providing a nice blend of comedy, wit and class.

The makeup [for Count Olaf] took about two and a half hours every morning. The meditation was another hour and a half. I would eat a big breakfast - that was probably 45 minutes. And then it was lunch.

The theater is reaching as many different demographics as it can now.

The subject of Citizenfour, Edward Snowden, could not be here for some treason.

I'm having a ball. I just walk in, make some funnies and walk out, no pressure.

I'm not the best cruise ship crooner. I'm not the best karaoke guy.

'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.

I've been taking a trapeze class for the last couple of years. I'm working on my double back flip right now.

I'm shocked at how early everything closes here. But people start earlier. I miss the late nightlife in NYC, but then again I sing and burn so much energy in the show that it's probably good - I get to go home and sleep.

Image
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.

Image
A cardio-funk class - I should have at least taken one of those. But it's always terrified me. I'm never one to be a dancer on the dance floor, even at a bar or a club.

Image
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.

As actors you don't want to have one label. You'd rather have seven.

I've been very fortunate to go from interesting chapter to interesting chapter.

Image
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.

I'd love to be some sort of villain in a big-budget action movie. Or a superhero franchise. That'd be rad.

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

When you have twin four-year-olds, you are able to dance like a fool, often. And I do.

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.

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.
