| Quotes: |
[on credentials for playing a physicist in The Big Bang Theory (2007)] I was very fascinated with meteorology at a young age. I lived on the Gulf Coast and hurricanes blew through there. That is the class I failed in college: meteorology. I didn't have an interest in the particulars - but what a wonderful basis for a show.
<br />
<hr>
[After he won a Golden Globe for The Big Bang Theory (2007) which was presented by his co-star Kaley Cuoco] I told her as soon as we got offstage that "No matter how many years I work in this business, no matter how many other awards I might get, that will never happen twice." To be presented with this statuette by my co-star who I love so much meant the world to me.
<br />
<hr>
If I ever wrote a script myself, it would be strongly emotional material.
<br />
<hr>
I've always loved TV very much, and as a child I was so religious with it, but now it's more when it fits in.
<br />
<hr>
I'm also a big American Idol (2002) fan. I think it's just great fun. |
