Jim Parsons recently told the “All Out with Jon Dean” podcast (via People) that he was “miserable” during the height of his long-running TBS sitcom “The Big Bang Theory.”

“I look back now and realize that there were many ways, at some of the best moments of my life, I was miserable,” Parsons said. “I was not happy. I was stressed.”

He added, “I felt that there was so many plates I was supposed to be keeping in the air and that the success and the good things of life that were happening were only due to this overworking… discipline and whatever. Maybe to a degree that was true. I don’t know. I can’t say because that’s how I was.”
