“Patrick Dempsey es muy feo.” (On-set on-camera interview here with a Spanish-speaking interviewer. a) RSL is wearing the most awful gray t-shirt; and b) he played Patrick Dempsey’s secret brother (and John Larroquette’s secret son) in a pilot in 2002.)
“If you want to offer me a job, I’ll go to Seattle.” (On-camera interview for which he is at his most IDGAF mood. Not that he knows what IDGAF stands for.)

"I've wanted to be Tony Randall my whole life." (Paley Center panel, House MD)
“It’s so fun to do something over and over again for months. It never gets boring.” (Said completely seriously, about his preference for the stage rather than the screen. Is dude Team Autistic or what?)
“She uses her phone to listen to music. Like a homeless person!” (Quoted in a print interview of his Born Yesterday co-star)
“I’m comparing my family to tarantulas is what I’m doing.” (On-camera interview for which he is at his most IDGAF mood. Not that he knows what IDGAF stands for.)

About visiting a co-star’s house: “All I remember is there were scented candles and [co-star] came out in a robe.” Source
“The idea of me watching myself on TV, alone in Santa Monica, was just about… just short of, like, a bottle of Maker’s Mark and a shotgun away from shooting myself.” (original source gone, copy-paste here)
“I grew up watching the Public Theater and Shakespeare in the park and Marion Seldes. I mean, I may as well be gay.” (original source gone, copy-paste here)
“If I don’t work for a few days, I don’t even change out of my pajamas, let alone deal with other people. My girlfriend and I are afraid that we’re going to disappear.”
“My girlfriend likes cheap candy like Russell Stover, so I’ll get her those chocolates and a bunch of little things for Valentine’s Day this year. She’s like a 7-year-old in that way.” (said at the same time Omar Epps was talking about buying high-end jewelry for his wife.)
