Quote of the Day: Neil Patrick Harris, who won the 2014 Tony Award last night for Best Leading Actor in a Musical, says he is his harshest critic...

I'm probably my biggest critic. I worry that if you spend any quality time reveling in good things then karma will slap you upside the head, so I try to stay as even keel as I'm able.
-- Neil Patrick Harris (via BrainyQuote)

What we're listening to: L.A. Theatreworks' JULIUS CAESAR. 'Tis the season! Summertime means Shakespeare all across the country, so we're getting our Bard on! The play is out on audiobook (for free!) with a cast featuring Richard Dreyfuss, Kelsey Grammer, Stacy Keach and more.

And finally, a Happy Birthday shout-out to Johnny Depp, who turns 51 today! We'll see him on the big screen soon as 'The Wolf' in Rob Marshall's new adaptation of INTO THE WOODS.
