Nathan Fillion - From the Adventure category:
I want my job to include a little adventure, a little more of a heightened reality than what I'm actually living. 'Castle' has that. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Books category:
Whatever our bedtime was as kids, we could stay up an extra half hour if we were reading. My parents didn't care as long as I was under the spell of a Stephen King or a Douglas Adams. Now I read in bed. I read at work. I read standing in line. It's like, 'Hello, my name is Nathan and I am a reader.' (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Books category:
I still buy actual books. The smell, having it in your hands - there's really no substitute. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Boredom category:
I was attending the University of Alberta. I was going to be a high school teacher, like my parents... It was Canadian history, through the plays of the time. My God, those were boring plays. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Business category:
Basically, after an ABC sitcom I did, I ended up with a holding deal with 20th Century Fox. Absolutely cool. It pays you to be unemployed. And the bigger the entity that gives you the deal, the better. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Challenge category:
I would love to be employed for the rest of my life... But what I would want to do is things that would frighten me, things that would scare me. I've never done that before; can I do that, can I show them that I can do it? (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Communication category:
You know, Castle's the kind of guy that when he meets somebody, that's a connection for him. He remains connected to the people that he meets. That's the kind of guy he is... (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Education category:
Karaoke is something that's near and dear and very close to my heart. I was a karaoke host when I was working my way through university. I was a full-time student and karaoke was my night job. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Ego category:
I'm the biggest geek of all. Adventure, fantasy, comic books - I can't get enough. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Environment category:
I love hiking in the hills not far from my house. I'm invested in my hikes. Sometimes kids go up there and spray-paint over the signs; I've found a biodegradable paint cleaner, and I'll scrub the signs so they're nice and clean. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Failure category:
I've had a long line of failed television programs, pilots that were never picked up, series that didn't go very long. I've learned that there's really nothing you can do. If it's not in my control, I try not to worry about it. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Fire category:
I watched cartoons when I was a kid... and both comics and cartoons lit fire in my imagination. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Fun category:
In all my characters, I try to find an iota of myself, and in Castle, I found a lot. He gets away with a lot, so that's fun. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Gender category:
My brother used to say that when you deal with women, it's difficult to remove emotions from an argument. I never really knew what he meant. Then I read an article that said when it comes to emotion and logic, men's and women's brains are different - my brother was right! Women are very mysterious, but that's part of their joy. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Humour category:
I'm a plethora of stolen jokes and kitschy references. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Improvisation category:
Improv as an actor makes you present in the moment. You listen, you're attentive. You're not acting so much as reacting, which is what you're doing in life all the time. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Influence category:
You know, I endeavor to be more like my older brother. He's very magnetic. He's actually very much like 'Castle' in that people are attracted to him, and just want to be near him. You want to know where my brother is in a crowded room? He's the guy with the crowd around him. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Influence category:
I think I've been really good at surrounding myself with really talented people. I've picked the right coattails to ride on. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Information category:
My brain is like a hard drive. Once you start adding new information, you start cutting off old information. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Interest category:
I think my printing to this day looks like the printing right out of a comic book. Actually, I always wanted to be in a comic book... This realm holds a lot of interest for me, a lot of passion for me. So to be comic-ized, yeah, that's cool. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Money category:
I had a Ford F-250. It was a big ol' farm truck, but it wasn't a rig. That's about the biggest I've ever driven. That's what I drove back and forth to high school. I was a poor guy, and it was a truck that my uncle owned and let me drive because I had no money. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Performance category:
It's a trap I've fallen into earlier in my career - trying to be liked. Don't do it... Characters are flawed. Be unlikeable. Be flawed. Be a person. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Plagiarism category:
Somebody told me long ago that in acting, it's okay to steal, just steal from the best. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Pleasure category:
I like doing things where I can get dirty, work with my hands, and use power tools. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Possessions category:
I have a trophy case that contains all the action figures ever made of me. It also has items I've stolen from my movies, like three guns and holsters from 'Serenity.' (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Possessions category:
I had an Indiana Jones fedora that I loved. I don't know what happened to it. I don't know where it went. Wish I had it back. Whoever's got it, you suck. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Profession category:
I kind of fell backwards into acting. I was studying to be a high school teacher. I look now and I understand completely, or actually barely, how much work it is to be a teacher. It's an incredible amount of work. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Rejection category:
I told myself a while back, 'Love what you do, but don't fall in love with what you do.' That way you won't be brokenhearted if ever it gets canceled five episodes in - which has happened to me. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Time category:
I'm the kind of guy who, I need a watch that tells me what day it is. I need to know it's Friday on my watch. I need to look at it and go, 'Friday today.' Tomorrow I will not know it's Saturday until I look at my watch. My watchband broke, I was crippled. I have no concept of time, I have no concept of dates. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Unknowns category:
I don't expect anybody to know who I am. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Work category:
I love what I do. And why not be nice? I mean, I've seen people who work and they're apparently not enjoying it, and they're making sure everybody knows it. (Nathan Fillion)
Nathan Fillion - From the Writing category:
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. (Nathan Fillion)
