As a human being, you know that there are some days when you’d rather not talk to anybody – but I can’t really do that anymore without appearing rude. – Jim Parsons
You just have to speak up. You just have to say, ‘I would like to do this,’ and it’s amazing what people who listen can do for you. – Jim Parsons
My choices in projects have all been character or role-based, and on a financial level, it’s obvious: as an actor on a TV series, I get a wonderful paycheck, and a consistent paycheck, which doesn’t always happen when you’re doing theater or movies. – Jim Parsons
It’s made it easier to communicate important issues, but I wonder if connecting with millions of people online is ever as arresting to someone’s attention as one man standing and screaming in front of City Hall. – Jim Parsons
I was very fascinated with meteorology at a young age. I lived on the Gulf Coast and hurricanes blew through there. That is the class I failed in college: meteorology. – Jim Parsons
To have a job you can count on as an actor is so rare, whether that means belonging to a regional theater company or being on TV. – Jim Parsons
Once, I lived in an apartment with a skylight in the bathroom. Every winter, it would snow through the skyline, but we got a discount because of it. – Jim Parsons
I think intelligence is usually sexy until it becomes irritating. After that, you’re stuck. – Jim Parsons
Every time I think about writing, comedy doesn’t interest me in the slightest. I can play comedy, but I don’t think in terms of comic dialogue. – Jim Parsons
All I can do is keep working, keep auditioning, keep talking to people – and whatever it takes to show other colors. – Jim Parsons
I was very average in the social label scale going through school. I was neither the coolest person in school, nor did I suffer the slings and arrows of being made fun of to such a degree that I couldn’t get through the day. – Jim Parsons
Apparently, all I do is walk my dogs. In L.A., I have more of a yard existence, and so I enjoy walking my two little dogs in New York – one’s a Maltese and the other’s a Shih Tzu. – Jim Parsons
My hiatus timeline is so minimal, there’s only a select number of projects that I can go in for. – Jim Parsons
I grew up with two different parakeets – one that lived for five years, and one that lived for 13 years – so I always had a bit of an attraction to birds and it’s an oddly good fit to be in a movie about birdwatchers. – Jim Parsons
I’m only human, and therefore, there’s a part of me that’s waiting for people to say, ‘Enough of you!’ – Jim Parsons
I would be horrible at Twitter. I wouldn’t know the answer to fans’ questions half the time – and the patience involved! I couldn’t imagine. I did have a Twitter account that I tried for a couple days, but found I had nothing to say. – Jim Parsons
The theater I got to do informs every move I make as an actor and will for the rest of my life. I can’t shake it if I wanted to, but I don’t want to. – Jim Parsons
I’ve always loved TV very much, and as a child I was so religious with it, but now it’s more when it fits in. – Jim Parsons
Theatre was my first love. I can’t take the theatre out of me. And I wouldn’t want to. To me, it’s home. – Jim Parsons
When I first started out in Houston, it was theater or bust. And I loved it. I still love it. And then I went to undergraduate and graduate school for acting. – Jim Parsons
