Chris Noth

“Everything I do, I'm sort of half in, half out.”

“I'm not a big fan of the thought that you can become a star by winning a contest. I'm sort of old-fashioned. I think people need to get paid their dues.”

“You're not a star until they can spell your name in Karachi.”

“I think there's a time to be private and a time to be public, and I think that companies like Facebook and Groupon are thriving on the need for people to be public, but that's not necessarily healthy.”

“I was never the 'babe,' so I knew I'd never get those big roles. I'd always be the best friend or the quirky sidekick.”

“I'm a pretty private person. I'm not a person who's in the tabloids.”

“I think the best roles are in television. The problem with movies is you can spend months and months and then it's over in a weekend.”

“People come up to me and say, 'Oh, you're Mr. Big.' And I'm like, 'No, I'm Chris.'”

“There’s a misconception that I’m a real serious guy.”

“I'm a work in progress. I'm a mess.”

“I am a total sucker for a good romance.”

“Better to be a nerd than one of the herd.”

“I never saw myself as a sex symbol.”
