A biography for Ian Hardinghasn’t been written yet.
“My mom is in the navy and my dad works for the army, but I never called them 'sir' or 'ma'am' or anything like that, and we never really moved around a lot because both my parents were stationed in D.C.”
“My life is one that I've aimed for - I've always wanted to be an actor who worked in film and television and was able to provide for himself and his family.”
“It was awkward because the high school that I went to, my aunt taught at, it was this private boy's school in D.C. There were one or two teachers that I had the hots for, but never fully expressed my feelings because my aunt was always watching.”
“I always was getting into trouble some way, because I was really good at lying when I was a kid.”
“When I was a kid, I was very lucky that I grew up in suburban Virginia, which, at the time, felt like a grey area between rural and suburban, so there were a lot of forests and parks.”
“Any skills that I have, I couldn't really make money with them. I would like to think that maybe I would be doing something in psychology or something of that nature because I love that vein of medicine - the getting down and getting nitty-gritty.”
“You have tours that go to certain parts of the world to see a specific type of bird, and then you come back to Hollywood, and you see tour vans that go around in hopes of catching a glimpse of Halle Berry going out to get a newspaper.”
“The great thing about being on a television show is that it usually provides you with fairly steady income so you can go and do things.”
“I'd always dreamed of being an actor and going out to Los Angeles or New York and being paid to do what you love, and then I went and did that, and it wasn't what I expected.”
“A little while ago, I had this realization that so much of my happiness depended on what my career was looking like at that time, and that's, like, death of happiness right there.”
“My mom is a pretty private person, and if I was making Snapchat videos of her all the time, I think, A, she would hit me, and B, she just wouldn't appreciate it. So I don't do it a ton.”
“If I want to communicate with fans, usually I go on Twitter.”
“I get recognized in the street really frequently, which is really shocking. I'm excruciatingly wary of any female under the age of 19. Even when some of them come up to me, they're usually very cordial, nice and polite.”
“My plan is to ride out my 30s with 'handsome man' parts, hit 40 and take some time off to have some kids, and then come back as Paul Giamatti.”
