Neil Patrick Harris Quotes

Mostly I have to try to censor myself so as not to write things that will hurt other people, or that will go too far.

I have chosen to keep my personal life separate from my music, as the two are exclusive from each other, and I want to remain that way.

My political ideas and things like that, even my religion, I try to keep close to me because it's a personal thing, and I don't shove it down people's throats. I don't condemn any artist that wants to do that, like the Baldwins. That's their choice. But in my world, I'm just an entertainer.

You know me, I'm not that kind of person that cares to unveil all of my personal things to the world because frankly, in terms of my soccer, it doesn't matter.

Private faces in public places Are wiser and nicer Than public faces in private places.

Kanye is so much fun. He's a wonderful person. What I love about Kim and Kanye is that I think they save their happy moments and their smiles for themselves rather than sharing everything with the public.
