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.

More quotes by 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 love technology. I buy all of the stuff when they come out first.
Neil Patrick Harris
I love the American musical for the simplicity of emotion that gets expressed.
Neil Patrick Harris
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.
Neil Patrick Harris
I don't like to be disparaging about my past roles. That's the only taboo that I don't like to cross.
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
The voiceover thing is very selfless. You go in there and they've hired you for your voice, but they know exactly what they want, and the writer's there and he knows exactly how it's supposed to be said. So you can't really argue with them, you just have to let them tell you what to do and then do it.
Neil Patrick Harris
I'm having a ball. I just walk in, make some funnies and walk out, no pressure.

[Before introducing the nominees for best animated film] If you're at the awards party with the guys who made the Lego Movie, now would be a good time to distract them.
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
In my 20s, I mostly ate burritos and nachos, with the occasional burger.
Neil Patrick Harris
But magic is like pizza: even when it's bad, it's pretty good.
Neil Patrick Harris
I loved Rent when I first heard it, but it grew on me and so did Tick, Tick... Boom. Some songs are more interesting than others and sometimes the ones that never stood out at first end up being the best to perform.
Neil Patrick Harris
I always thought filet mignon was the steak to beat, but the fat content in a rib eye is fantastic.
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
If I wrote a musical it wouldn't be about me. Although I do some magic, so it would probably be about a magician who appeared and re-appeared all over the place.
Neil Patrick Harris
I feel like I know where I'm going. And I like where I'm going.
Neil Patrick Harris
I sort of pride myself in my dissatisfaction with my work. I've always been concerned with buying the hype, and having that make your performances suffer.
Neil Patrick Harris
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.
Neil Patrick Harris
I have an unbelievable assistant who handles all of my scheduling! It's like a Tetris game.
