“It’s good to have a lot of once-in-a-lifetimes in your lifetime. If you get the chance to skydive, go skydiving. If you’re offered a part in a weird Shakespeare play in San Diego, slap on some tights and rock out some iambic pentameter. If you’re offered the opportunity to have a swastika painted on your ass, glitter on your nipples, and to simulate sex with a man and a woman behind a curtain, go for it… provided it’s ‘Cabaret’ on Broadway and not in some dude’s basement.”

Neil Patrick Harris lets us in on a pretty solid secret to success.

Personally, I think anytime NPH tells you to do something, you should just shut your mouth and do it. You know how magical he is, right? And anyone as adorable as he is can’t possibly lead you astray. So if there’s something that you’ve been given a chance to do that you’re on the fence about, just follow Doogie’s lead and go for it! Just to get this trend started, I’m pretty sure that tonight’s the night that I’m finally going to splurge and get one of those fuzzy posters to color! Excitement!

Don’t forget to fill me in on what your plans are!
