Kiefer Sutherland quotes about
I had an unbelievable experience on '24'. We shot 198 episodes, and I was as excited about shooting the 198th as I was the first.
There are two things that Jack Bauer never does. Show mercy, and go to the bathroom.
When I wasn't the flavor of the week or month or day, those were hard times.
I feel extraordinarily peaceful when I'm watching the sun set.
I was 20 when my daughter was born, and making all these plans during my wife's pregnancy. I was going to be the perfect father. Once she was born, it was suddenly, 'Oh, my God! I'm a parent!'
If you are going to do something potentially for another eight years, you want it to be something that you can really sink your teeth in and that's going to be different and interesting for this next period of time.
I would love to do '24' until I was 60, but I don't think anybody would accept it.
I'm always jumping in my seat or gasping during a good horror movie.
My parents not only did it for a living, but they were really good at it.
There are aspects of '24' where I love its politics and aspects where I hate them.
You can't ask the press to service you with everything that they have and not expect some of the other stuff in return if you're going to live your life like I have.
The biggest mistakes I made in my career were when I said, 'If I do this movie, I'll be able to do a couple more movies.' Those are the times I really got ugly.
There's a confidence that comes from youth and not knowing better. But there comes a point, as an actor, when you do know better, and that is when the fear starts.
I have a very strong political outlook, and that is something I'd like to take more responsibility for in my life. I don't believe in utilising certain aspects of the power I have with celebrity to push that forward, but I would like to make some films that address some of those political issues.
