Eric McCormack Quotes

My most romantic job: I was a manager at Baskin - Robbins Picture Quote #1

That’s an amazing feeling, to walk onstage, and you’re not thinking about anything, you’re not thinking about your lines or what you’re supposed to do - your body, your brain knows, so there’s freedom. There’s not fear, there’s not nerves Picture Quote #1

I did five episodes of Townies as Jenna Elfman’s boyfriend. I was a guest star, but it was the first time I really got to play laughs in front of a sitcom audience Picture Quote #1

[Townies] was a great springboard, obviously, because Jenna [Elfman] went from that to Dharma and Greg, and a few years later, Lauren [Graham] went to Gilmore Girls Picture Quote #1

The three main leads [in Townies] were Lauren [ Graham] and Jenna [Elfman] and Molly [Ringwald], and then Ron Livingston was on it as well. There was a lot of people to write funny stuff for Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Growing up, my father was a financial analyst for an oil company. He was just a regular dad. And when I would say, ‘Hey, come see my play,’ he’d say, ‘Sure.’ He’d see one, ‘Oh, good play’ - you know, very typical dad reaction Picture Quote #1

We didn’t, with ‘Will and Grace,’ set out to change the gay world. We just set out to be funny Picture Quote #1

The Andromeda strain is a killer disease that they’ve got to prevent from spreading to being 100 percent contagious. It’s another one where we’re racing to save humanity Picture Quote #1

At home in L.A., Sunday is lazy. It’s the wife and me lying in bed with coffee, watching ‘The Soup’ or something funny on TiVo. The kid will occasionally join us. Eventually, breakfast is at a place down the street called Paty’s. And we always have some kind of great dinner - my wife makes a great roast beef Picture Quote #1

As much as I loved [Al] Pacino and [Robert] De Niro and wanted to be a dramatic actor, I also grew up on sitcoms Picture Quote #1

I think I was very lucky that I didn’t get well-known until my early thirties. If it had happened when I was younger, you might have seen me falling out of nightclubs. I think I conducted myself as a much better human being because I was already married when all that came along (I got married five months after I got the role as Will) Picture Quote #1

Mental illness is the last frontier. The gay thing is part of everyday life now on a show like ‘Modern Family,’ but mental illness is still full of stigma. Maybe it is time for that to change Picture Quote #1

Most people, if you live in a big city, you see some form of schizophrenia every day, and it’s always in the form of someone homeless. ‘Look at that guy - he’s crazy. He looks dangerous.’ Well, he’s on the streets because of mental illness. He probably had a job and a home Picture Quote #1

I’m torn about late parenting. I believe people should spend their twenties living and having fun and not having any regrets later. I also think people in their thirties generally make better parents but so many of my friends are having trouble - myself included - as fathers get older Picture Quote #1

Growing up, my father was a financial analyst for an oil company. He was just a regular dad. And when I would say, Hey, come see my play, hed say, Sure. Hed see one, Oh, good play - you know, very typical dad reaction Picture Quote #1

Will isn’t a screaming queen - that’s Jack’s part. They needed someone to play the part for America. It’s just not the same as Britain. To have a gay character as a lead is risky Picture Quote #1

When I read the script for Will and Grace in 1998, I knew I was the only guy for the part Picture Quote #1

I started to realise that it wasn’t for me. Perhaps I didn’t have to give my Hamlet before I died, that the world might be an OK place without my Hamlet, in fact Picture Quote #1

I had played many gay characters before, but they were finite - guest characters in TV shows or characters in plays Picture Quote #1

We didn’t, with ‘Will and Grace,’ set out to change the gay world. We just set out to be funny Picture Quote #1

I’m doing a very funny show in which we talk about issues. I speak at Aids charities and things. It’s great to do something fun with our days and yet we’re told we’re doing something important Picture Quote #1

My wife is a real camper; it’s a nice way to bond Picture Quote #1

I never felt cool growing up. I was a bit of an outsider, but I discovered theatre very early on, which got me through Picture Quote #1

I love playing anyone that does stuff that I don’t do. The fun of playing an assassin is that I’ve never killed anybody. The fun of playing a brilliant musician is that I don’t actually play any instruments Picture Quote #1

Often, particularly with voices, you’re hearing horrible things, demon voices, and voices telling them that they’re not worth it or that they’re going to kill somebody. In those moments, they’re overcoming things Picture Quote #1

I have accomplished a lot, but it didn’t happen overnight for me. I was 35 when I got the show, and had been working professionally for 15 years. It would be a lot weirder if I were in my early 20s and stumbled into it Picture Quote #1

As a television actor, there’s a power you’re given to use your image to do something valuable. As a parent, these messages are particularly important to me Picture Quote #1
