“I think I've been really good at surrounding myself with really talented people. I've picked the right coattails to ride on.”
“I was attending the University of Alberta. I was going to be a high school teacher, like my parents. I failed - no, I didn't fail a class, I just barely passed. I really didn't try. It was Canadian history, through the plays of the time. My God, those were boring plays.”
“Working on 'Drive', a lot of fun. This is Tim Minear whom I've worked with before on 'Firefly' of course. He called me up and said, 'I've got a part for you that you will love,' and I love Tim's writing. I love his stories. I love his characters, his dialogue. He has a knack for reveals and he has a knack for moments.”
“'Castle' isn't really affected emotionally by murder. He's thrilled about, 'Oh, my God, I wonder how this happened?'”
“In all my characters, I try to find an iota of myself, and in Castle, I found a lot. He gets away with a lot, so that's fun.”
“I don't expect anybody to know who I am.”
“I had an Indiana Jones fedora that I loved. I don't know what happened to it. I don't know where it went. Wish I had it back. Whoever's got it, you suck.”
“My brain is like a hard drive. Once you start adding new information, you start cutting off old information.”
“There's comedy even in tragedy. There's comedy in life. And in 'Castle', we go for that comedy.”
“Being in the industry, I've seen many situations where someone will get the call from the network where they say 'You guys have 5 episodes to wrap it up.' Then all your long-term story arcs gotta get wrapped up in five episodes because that's how many episodes you got left. I would hate to see that happen to 'Castle'.”
