I'm quite comfortable with being a geek. I've been a geek since high school.
I like the 'Science Channel,' the 'Discovery Channel,' I like 'Discovery Times,' which is a fabulous hybrid of the 'New York Times' and 'Discovery Channel.' Maybe I'm just an old man, but I like to watch that stuff.
'Dragonball' is the coolest television cartoon in the last 50,000 years.
Joss didn't even think he could play the piano, then he would sit down and lay waste to every song around him and it's like 'I'm not crying...'
Anne Rice really doesn't explore vampires as hideous monsters of the night, they're ancient creatures with a heart. And they want to be loved and they want connections just like we do.
In Europe they call geeks 'smart people,' and frankly I think we live in a culture that doesn't value intelligence enough; so I am very proud in saying that I am a geek.
I love anybody who has convictions enough to make mistakes because only people who make mistakes get into enough trouble to be called drama, I think. Read more at: http://tr.im/dKLVG
I'm really interested with the way light plays on images and one of the artists that really reawakened my interest in comic books was Frank Miller and his treatment of Daredevil, and then Wolverine and, of course, Batman.
I'm just getting to know myself. I'm no wherwhere near to being concise about it yet. I can't define myself. Wait a minute - I'm angry, I'm funny and I'm trying.
I don't know if any of us are mature enough to handle the brutal honesty of what's inside other people's heads.
I tend to be emotional when... I breathe.
I'm a psychopath, but I don't have a problem with that.
I patterned the accent after this guy I was in a play with, but that was three years ago. Now I'm listening to Tony Head (Giles in Buffy), who sounds kind of like Spike in real life. It's much more tough-guy talk in real life. His accent (as Giles) is just as fake as mine. His is nice and gritty, but it's not North London. I'm always afraid that I'm morphing over into Tony Head, wherever he's from.
Tough guy Spike was always the funnest, but I'm most proud of the more recent stuff, the last season, I think.
