Know that you may never find work-life balance.
When I leave Hedwig [on August 17], I’m looking forward to getting in the headspace of my kids. I won’t have to check out because I have that thing that I gotta go do at that time. I actually miss waking up with only five hours of sleep and knowing that I might be a little haggard but that’s OK.Like Barney Stinson, I think we should live life as if it’s a great adventure.And if the chapters aren’t good, make up your own ending.
了解你也许永远找不到工作和生活的平衡
当我离开Hedwig(在8月17日),我期盼着有些空闲时间可以陪我的孩子们,我不用去查看,因为我有在每个时间我应该要去做的事,我真的很想念只睡5个小时就起床,然后知道我看起来有点憔悴,但那也OK,像Barney Stinson,我想我们应该把人生活得像个伟大的冒险,而内容如果不够好,就去编造你自己的结局。

How to Be You by Neil Patrick Harris
Glamour Magazine, September 2014.
As his smash Broadway run in Hedwig and the Angry Inch comesto a close, Neil Patrick Harris shares the secrets of work, love, and living byyour own rules.
His isn’t a career anyone could haveplanned. No one goes to their agent at age 16 and says: “OK, I’d like to beginby playing the adorable meganerd teen doctor Doogie Howser to massive publicacclaim. Then, after being fatally defined by the role, I think I’ll portray awashed-up actor in the bro-tastic Harold& Kumar films, thereby kind of resurrecting my career andexhibiting refreshing self-awareness, and afterward I’ll land a gig as acharmingly heartless lothario on a dominating sitcom right when everyone saysthat dominating sitcoms are dead—ha! (That would be Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother, in case youweren’t among the 12.9 million viewers who caught the series finale lastspring.) And, you know, in the middle of that, I’d like to be one of the firstin-his-prime stars to publicly come out of the closet, declare my love for myboyfriend (now fiance), and have adorable twins via a surrogate. Then I thinkI’ll once again escape the grips of post-sitcom career death by winning aTonyAward for possibly the most demanding title role in contemporary Broadway—Hedwig and the Angry Inch—and finishmy year with a mesmerizing turn in one of the most anticipated movies of recenthistory, Gone Girl. Ohyeah, and then there’s this little thing called my memoir, Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your OwnAutobiography, which will come out in…let’s say…October 2014? Mr.Agent, let’s draw up the paperwork. Can we call it the ‘How to Succeed in ShowBusiness Without Ever Compromising Yourself or What You Care About’ plan?”
Any agent, of course, would say youwere crazy—but Harris, 41, would argue that success requires allowing yourselfto really, truly evolve. The man’s full of great, life-shifting advice. Suchas:
