“When I was in New York, I took my bike everywhere for transportation. I didn't have a fixed-gear bicycle, like a lot of the messengers do, but I had a stripped-down deal - having lost a few good ones in New York - and I did 10 to 15 miles a day just getting around the city.”
“People are fascinated by the darker sides of human nature, and I think they're also interested in seeing the ability that a particular detective or group of detectives might have to solve the crime and put the world right again.”
“I joke that, 'Give us forty-two minutes, and we'll get your bad guy for you.'”
“People think that human beings have gotten worse, that because of the pressures that modern society puts on us, we've gotten worse, and we've gotten capable of doing more terrible things. I don't know if I necessarily think that that's true.”
“I was raised as a real worker: you know, you get out and get a real job.”
“Prague is not rife in Asian culture.”
“I am an optimist, and I try to think that the light will always prevail in any situation, so it doesn't really make me sad about humanity because I think, deep down, everybody is full of love and light.”
“The pilot is the wedding, and the series is the relationship.”
“My wife, Cristina, is an amazing mother, and I know by the time I get back home, she's ready for a break. Cristina will say, 'Enjoy your nap on the plane.' That's the most sleep I'll get after I hear those voices railing, 'Let's play Daddy Monster!'”
“People see me, and they think they went to college with me; there's no immediate identification.”
“When expectations are really high, you're doomed.”
“I never was able to be a Lakers fan - I'm more of a Spurs fan.”
“By the fourth or fifth take, I had gotten over the 'Oh my God, it's a Stanley Kubrick movie' and got around to doing a little bit of acting.”
“I still want to find some place to play 'Hamlet,' and if 'Far and Away' helps me do that, that would be nice.”
“I know there's a CSI game. I've never seen it, though, so I'm not really sure. I hope it's interesting. I hope that they've done a good job making it, but because I've never seen it, the jury is still out on whether it's interesting or not. But it is funny to imagine that it's been turned into a game.”
“There's nothing better for kids than a bucket and shovel at the beach. I grew up across the marsh from The Citadel. We loved buying chicken necks at the Piggly Wiggly, tying them to a string on a stick and catching blue crabs.”
“Sitcoms are more like stage drama than anything else on film - more than a one-hour and certainly more than a movie. You get a script on Monday. You rehearse all week. And on Friday, you're on.”
“I've always said that 'Dharma and Greg' is 'Romeo and Juliet' meets 'The Odd Couple.'”
“Single-camera is more relentless because it's eight 14-hour days no matter how you slice it.”
“I remember driving home from a movie - it wasn't 'Halloween' but another one, maybe the original 'Omen' - and I dropped my friends off, and it was also broad daylight, and yet I was sure that, like, Damien was in the backseat or something like that.”
