Not a big sci-fi guy.

Tom Cavanagh is fantastic.

You can write your own history.

I'm still a kid. I stretched it out.

I could probably eat sushi every day.

I'm never one to compare shows to shows.

When you become a father, everything changes.

I knew I wanted to be an actor in first grade.

My wife is a real camper; it's a nice way to bond.

Each one of us fulfills a piece of a larger puzzle.

I do love the stage, and that is incredibly rewarding.

Putting my head on Ruth Buzzi's body - it's upsetting.

My most romantic job: I was a manager at Baskin-Robbins.

I'm still mad at Josh Charles for dying on 'The Good Wife.'

I saw 'Othello' with Christopher Plummer and James Earl Jones.

I haven't had a chance to play a quiet leading man in a while.

My first job was at Baskin-Robbins. I made store manager at 16.

I'm an actor. I can't afford to have a type. I love to mix it up.

It's hard in this business to get the opportunities to show off range.

Monk's gone, and House is gone. Maybe I can pick up where they left off.

If we're karaoke-ing, I'm as likely to do Aerosmith as I am 'Sweeney Todd'.

Will Truman will be on my epitaph, but as an actor, I have to challenge myself.

Show-wise, I love 'Little Shop' and 'Big River', 'Avenue Q,' and 'Spring Awakening'.

I'd done a pilot [of Townies] with Caroline Rhea [Pride & Joy] that didn't go anywhere.

When I was 16, I'd ping pong between AC/DC and Barry Manilow without any sense of irony.

When I read the script for Will & Grace in 1998, I knew I was the only guy for the part.

In the '97 pilot season [of Will & Grace ], I got the male lead on The Jenny McCarthy Show.

I didn't want to do a lawyer. I didn't want to do forensics. I didn't want to work in an ER.

I made Lost World in September of '91, and by the end of that year, I was living in Toronto.

We didn't, with 'Will & Grace,' set out to change the gay world. We just set out to be funny.

If you can last long enough, in success, you have to get really creative and come up with new stuff.

We want all LGBTQ kids to grow up in a world where they feel safe and equal to their straight peers.

Probably one of the most surreal moments of my career was acting in front of Notre Dame with a mime.

Whenever I see Tom [ Cavanagh] - we're good friends - we just mourn that we didn't get a longer shot.

Every day, there's something that makes you go, 'Is this Funny or Die?' That can't be a real headline.

I think we all realize that anyone can - and has - gotten AIDS. So there's obviously still a lot to be done.

In the future, things will truncate! No, in the age of Twitter, we can't be upset when words become shorter.

I loved working with Cary Elwes, who is in 'The Princess Bride', one of my favorite films. He's a great guy.

As much as I loved [Al] Pacino and [Robert] De Niro and wanted to be a dramatic actor, I also grew up on sitcoms.

Certainly 'Lonesome Dove' would be way hard now, because, I mean, back then I wasn't married. I didn't have kids.

[Townies] was a huge cast. It was a bit ungainly, I think with 12 regular characters they had to keep writing for.

Unfortunately, with men's health, we don't talk about it enough, and prostate cancer gets lost in the conversation.

I had played many gay characters before, but they were finite - guest characters in TV shows or characters in plays.

It's a different world now. Guest-starring on a TV show is not some indication that things aren't going right anymore.

That's the hard part of television: When you walk into the network tests, you're signing away seven years of your life.

I never felt cool growing up. I was a bit of an outsider, but I discovered theatre very early on, which got me through.

Andy Ackerman directed the episodes that I was doing, and he directed a lot of Seinfeld [episodes]. And that was great.

I was going to be the hero of the movie [The Lost World]. I had to speak up and be like, "Shouldn't I be the one doing that?

I had a couple of decent laughs on Townies, but for the most part, delivering a joke that you just know is not funny is hard.

I was raised on 'Get Smart' and 'All in the Family' and 'M.A.S.H.,' and certainly when 'Cheers' came along, that was a big one.
