Robert Sean Leonard

When I was a kid, it was a little bit exciting working with Peter Weir and Robin Williams, but that faded pretty quickly for me.

There are a few roles I want to play, but mostly I just want to keep doing a play every now and then, watch kids grow and eat cookies and drink tea.

As a kid, the theatre always felt a bit like running away to join the circus.

My wife and I are really strange people. We never spend any money.

My career has mostly been jobs I love or cases where I needed money.

I want to read books and go for walks and make dinner. I guess there are people who love working and that's great. I'm not one of them. I love tackling roles and I love theater, but filming, I don't get it. It seems mind-numbing to me.

This is kind of a uniquely New York experience, but when you can't afford an apartment nicer than the place you're renting, there's something so inherently depressing about it.

I probably haven't even seen ten of the films I've done. I don't get a joy out of it, and I don't go to the movies.

I was proud of 'House, MD,' and I think it was good for what it was and remarkably smart for a television show. I loved Hugh Laurie and was proud to be by his side that long and to be trusted by him.

Any time the character is in a moral quandary is interesting. That's been true from the Greeks on down.

I think people respect my work, but I was never in one of those movies that made me a star.

Sure, theater is tough because you're not home at night a lot and you work on weekends - every job has its downside. But to do something that you love doing for two hours a night, that's a pretty sweet gig.
