cheapen good
'Dexter' has been very, very good to me. I would rather stop doing it than cheapen it.
good hall michael stroke talked thinks tremendous
It was a tremendous stroke of good luck that the show got Michael C. Hall to play the part. Everyone I've talked to thinks Michael is a perfect 'Dexter,' which never happens.
good
Good writing does not come from verbiage but from words.
sports idiot looking-good
I enjoyed watching good-looking idiots looking at each other. A great spectator sport.
feel-good killing feels
Killing makes me feel good.
lucky be-good
It really is better to be lucky than to be good.
history human normal performed tv written
No TV show in history, no movie ever made - nothing you can imagine as being written or filmed or performed can turn a normal human being into a Dexter.
clause deliberate knock people
I made a deliberate choice to write something people would enjoy, not knock people out with 'Boy, he can really put a clause together!'
best quiet solitude wide work
I need quiet and solitude to work. Darkness is best. If I am wide awake, I can't write.
behaviour human knows life ourselves point rest view
I wanted to show life and to see ourselves and our behaviour through an outsider's eye... from the point of view of someone who knows nothing about being a human being... He doesn't have the feelings that the rest of us do.
It's a mistake to think that Dexter is nice.
cannot change
What my research told me is that a psychopath cannot change. You're born like that.
Dexter-Land is a dark and scary place, and I couldn't live there permanently. To be honest, I don't think I even want to visit.
tv
Someone who is not a killer is not going to watch a TV show and decide to be a killer.
