I pride myself in being able to straddle demographics and if that was said as Barney Stinson it would mean a little different thing.

I love the American musical for the simplicity of emotion that gets expressed.
Neil Patrick Harris
Image
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.

I want to be able to infuse some youthful energy and comedy while appreciating the generations before.

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.

This next presenter is so lovely you could eat her up with a spoon

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.

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
Image
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.

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.

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

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

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.

I have an unbelievable assistant who handles all of my scheduling! It's like a Tetris game.
Neil Patrick Harris
Image
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.

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.

I like to make decisions based on things I'm interested in doing, not what seems like the next move in my quote-unquote career.
