Sean Hayes Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Sean Hayes:

At the beginning of 'Will and Grace', I played Jack as the funny next-door-neighbor type, as we've seen in the past. And I thought that was my role.

No one could have ever dreamed about how well the show would do.

Sean Hayes

I'm consumed with what I didn't do. I know I should've come out sooner, and I'm sorry for that.

Sean Hayes

You power through it word by word, line by line.

Sean Hayes

I'm a hamster person.

Sean Hayes

I was buttoned up as a kid. I did what I was told and never broke the rules.

Sean Hayes

But I'm guessing every actor is insecure.

Sean Hayes

Through that, I got to know Jerry's work, and I am definitely his number-one fan right now, which is interesting because it usually works the other way around: you usually create a project based on your hero.

Sean Hayes

I didn't want the responsibility, I didn't know how to handle the responsibility of speaking for the gay community. I always felt like I owed them a huge apology for coming out too late.

Sean Hayes

They might have a long way to go before truly accepting gay people into their lives, but they have accepted the show into their living rooms each and every week.

Sean Hayes

I come from a completely dysfunctional alcoholic family, so we kind of parented ourselves a little bit.

Sean Hayes

I live my life like an 85-year-old man.

Sean Hayes

I'm a huge sci-fi/fantasy/horror guy. I love anything in the sci-fi or fantasy genre.

Sean Hayes

Nobody makes me laugh.

Sean Hayes

And I'd like to believe that's true, you know, kind of showing gay people in this kind of light and - where it's not about that, it's just about the characters for the first time, like those shows were.

Sean Hayes

But when I did think about it and looked at the whole package - the producers behind the show, the writers, the cast I would be working with - I would have been a fool to turn it down just because the role for me was another gay role.

Sean Hayes

I was the music director at a dinner theater called the 'Pheasant Run Theater' in the suburbs of Chicago, and that was my side gig while I acted.

Sean Hayes

I actually like working with the other three actors on the show.

Sean Hayes

You don't have a face to work with, so your voice has to do all the work until you see the animation. So, a lot of it I had to pull back because it was too big.

Sean Hayes

Religion is constantly being talked about, debated, pondered, worried about.

Sean Hayes

My job was to play my character in the best way that I could, and hopefully people will enjoy that.

Sean Hayes

Knowing you're gay, as a kid in the '80s, is a very scary thing.

Sean Hayes

Isn't it about getting out of your comfort zone and getting off the couch and challenging yourself and forcing yourself to do things you wouldn't other do? Otherwise, what are you living for?

Sean Hayes

I got one letter at the very beginning, like, in the first season, saying - from a woman who was very religious, very Christian, saying how wrong she thought the show was, but she thinks it's the funniest show on television.

Sean Hayes

The writers have slowly taken the show, with subjects other gay shows have dived right into, slowly. It was over a year before Will even started to date.

Sean Hayes

You build a fan base over time, and they will accept you as long as it's good. Nothing matters as long as something's good. If it's bad, nobody will see it.

Sean Hayes

I grew up; I had a couple of dogs.

Sean Hayes

Everybody has a different definition of God. When people say, 'Do you believe?' I think they mean the Christian God. There are a lot of gods, so I think they cancel each other out.

Sean Hayes

I'm definitely an actor first, but it's fun to kind of, you know, push your boundaries and see if you can do things that have scared you a little bit your whole life.

Sean Hayes

I consider myself an actor who is funny.

Sean Hayes

I think the worst thing you could ever do is label comedy. I'm a fan of the broadness of Lucille Ball, the subtlety of Peter Sellers and the oddballness of Fred Armisen and the wittiness of Marty Short. I'm a fan of all of it, and I want to do all of it.

Sean Hayes

I like common sense, to try and be the voice of reason at work.

Sean Hayes

There weren't any funny people in sports or the Spanish club. All the really creative, witty, funny people that made your belly hurt were in the theater program.

Sean Hayes

When you see me play Jack, I want you to believe that that's a gay character.

Sean Hayes

I was a piano major with Craig Robinson from 'The Office.' Me and Craig were very close in college at Illinois State University... It's so bizarre to see us out here now doing things.

Sean Hayes

It's always comedy first on 'Will and Grace.' There was never any other agenda.

Sean Hayes

I'm just quiet. It's fantastic.
