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.

I love Buster Keaton. I was a big fan of the stunt shows at Universal Studios. I'm a huge Cirque du Soleil nut.

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

I've been very fortunate to go from interesting chapter to interesting chapter.
Neil Patrick Harris
Image
I often teach a graduate theater seminar on Greek tragedy in performance. I usually begin by saying that no matter what technological advances occur, the wisdom of these plays will never be obsolete.
Neil Patrick Harris
Image
I'm having a ball. I just walk in, make some funnies and walk out, no pressure.
Neil Patrick Harris
Image
I don't care about my impact - I only care about the theater as an art form and criticism as an act of writing.
Neil Patrick Harris
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
I'm wildly impressed with the diversity of gay roles.

Love is awesome and endless, but it is constantly changing its form. You love something for what it is, then it changes. But that change can make you love it even more.
