Nathan Fillion quotes about
hero thinking knowing
I thought what would be really just choice for a revamp and a reboot is 'The Greatest American Hero.' I think I'd be just that kind of perfect not prepared for this kind of thing, but thrust into circumstances he's not prepared for... that's another niche of mine. Unpreparedness. Not knowing what to do. I'm good at being that guy.
hero thinking people
I think people imagine that I have about five scripts sitting in front of me and I say, 'I think I'm going to go with the super hero thing and after that I'll wrap it up with some more sci-fi and then do a romantic comedy.' But it doesn't quite work out that way.
tragedy castles comedy
There's comedy even in tragedy. There's comedy in life. And in 'Castle', we go for that comedy.
thank-god done firsts
Thank God there is a such thing as hiatus. We got the first 'Dr. Horrible' done in six days, we banged it out.
cutting brain information
My brain is like a hard drive. Once you start adding new information, you start cutting off old information.
tired sick long
I love doing 'Castle.' We pump out 24 episodes in 10 months, and we work long hours. We do lots and lots of takes, and everyone there is a talent machine. It is a taxing endeavour to say the least, but when you get into a groove, it doesn't matter if you're tired, it doesn't matter if you're sick. You can do it.
i-love-you love-you bullets
I like to say there's certain things you can't take back: One of them is 'I love you,' and one of them is bullets.
home frozen world
I remember when TiVO first came out I was all about TiVo. I came home and that thing was frozen, and I thought 'This is awful. This is the end of the world'. Then I unplugged it, and I plugged it back in, and still frozen. It was paralyzing. I called them. They said, 'Just unplug it longer.' Fixed. But it also taught me I'm an addict.
actors restaurants waiter
When I was a waiter I was fired twice from the same restaurant. I guess I was that good of an actor but that bad of a waiter.
talking strange knows
I love 'Strange Brew'. I quote that movie all the time, and no one knows what I'm talking about.
jobs fun challenges
I want to be a working actor; I want to do jobs that excite me and challenge me, and I want to something fun.
differences directors
I've always noticed a difference between working with a director and working with a writer/director. In how much they're invested and how specific they are.
jobs trying littles
My job changes very little because I've found that the more you try to be funny, the less funny you become.
mutual-attraction levels want
I'm comfortable only when there's a mutual attraction. That's what anyone wants. If I find out she's not attracted to me, it brings down my level of attraction to her. If I'm interested and find out she's not, I tend to cool off.
