thinking light people
I think we've always, as a species, been fascinated with stuff that we don't understand. Anytime someone can shed light on that, whether it's legit or just somebody's fantasy of what that stuff is, I think people take notice.
father texas mexican
My father is Jaime Rodriguez from San Antonio, Texas, and I've got one whole half of my family that's Mexican through and through.
athlete actors geek
Actors geek out over athletes. Everyone knows that.
love psych giving
I usually just pick a genre of movie that I feel like saluting and then go off and come up with something that I can sort of pay homage to. That's the great thing about our show is we've sort of created a landscape for 'Psych' where we're kind of allowed to go off and give shout-outs to movies that we love, genres that we love.
psych fans beast
Our fans are like rabid beasts that rub themselves with the nectar that is Psych.
thinking white stuff
They just think I'm a white dude. Every once in a while someone thinks I'm Jewish. I get a lot of stuff, but never Latino.
funny witty eye
Dude, are my eyes seeing what my brain is telling my eyes that they're seeing?
basic came denial derivative friday matter okay time
Look at every show on television; it's derivative of another show that came before it. It was only a matter of time. So all you 'Mentalist' fans, it's okay to like the show, but don't be in denial of where it came from. Friday nights, U.S.A., basic cable-style baby.
best came good job life studying sure theater
I came from Texas, I was studying theater at NYU, and I thought for sure that my lot in life would be to get the best bartending job I could find and do theater in New York. And that was a good life.
people stuff fans
The whole point of being a closet fan of anything is that people aren't supposed to then out you and say that you're closet fans of stuff.
jobs moving usa
USA does such a great job sort of branding and packaging their shows and you know, they move and they sort of you got to keep up, you've really got to keep up with the train.
I think what we do is fairly unique on 'Psych,' and we just have to keep doing that because that's what got us where we are.
believe came david delivered expect network room watching
When he came to television, there was no way I wasn't going to watch. Of course, he delivered everything that you would expect David Lynch to deliver, and more, and he was doing it in primetime network television. Even as a 14-year old, I wanted someone in the room with me that I could look over and say, 'Can you believe we're watching this?'
thinking ideas long
The idea that you can cross a dimension, or commune with the dead, or life on other planets... these are the great unknowns. They will be debated as long as their is life. I think there's an inherent interest from people in what that stuff is.
