Asked why Wilson keeps putting up with House, Leonard replied, "At the risk of spreading even more wildfire rumors, I don't really see what's so unattractive about House. Maybe I've just been playing Wilson too long. He's extremely self-effacing, he's extremely funny, he's brilliant, he's scathingly honest, he's incredibly candid. I think he's extremely likeable. I'm not sure what people mean. He's shocking and he's bold and he can be unnerving. But as a friend, I would seek out someone like that, I think."-Robert Sean Leonard.
