I love the American musical for the simplicity of emotion that gets expressed.
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 would not dream of taking on Tobey Maguire. Plus, he's a talented and nice guy, and I have nothing but nice things to say about him.
I always thought filet mignon was the steak to beat, but the fat content in a rib eye is fantastic.
I remember thinking that the rest of my life would be solo. I wasn’t weepy when I thought that - it was just a realization that I had gone this long being self-sufficient.
My favorite time to dance is at, like, wedding receptions, when it's all ages and everyone seems to be having fun.
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.
I enjoy being a hyphenate. I've always thought of my career as a plate spinner in the circus.
I have a very large forehead. I have a pronounced skull. Maybe producers think that there is a lot going on up in there.
I’m a nerdy, geeky fan of Labyrinth and Dark Crystal.
My parents own a restaurant in Albuquerque.
Jim Henson was the only piece of fan mail I ever wrote when I was a little kid.
I grew up being educated by Sesame Street and gained a sense of humor from The Muppet Show. I'd give my right foot to be able to do a scene or two with the Muppets.
I love Buster Keaton. I was a big fan of the stunt shows at Universal Studios. I'm a huge Cirque du Soleil nut.
In my 20s, I mostly ate burritos and nachos, with the occasional burger.
I'm having a ball. I just walk in, make some funnies and walk out, no pressure.
Babies just change everything. You have to become super-selfless and super-tired and super-amenable to change. They just change all the time.
I'm wildly impressed with the diversity of gay roles.
As actors you don't want to have one label. You'd rather have seven.
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.
When you have twin four-year-olds, you are able to dance like a fool, often. And I do.
I love physical stuff. I love circusy, weird, breathing fire and bucket-listy things.
I'm a big proponent of monogamous relationships regardless of sexuality, and I'm proud of how the nation is steering toward that.
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.
The TV schedule is fantastic. It allows you to have a life. Theater actors are so disciplined - especially if you're doing musicals, you have to be in shape physically, mentally, and have to be on your game all the time. That's exhausting. On TV, especially a sitcom, you have a lot of free time to play.
