Because I am an inhuman monster, I tend to be logical,...

Life teaches us that human thought almost never walks hand in hand with logic, and it is usually counterproductive to raise the point.
laughing people logic
Our universe is ruled by random whim, inhabited by people who laugh at logic.
use logic behavior
you can’t use logic on human behavior.
basis civilised necessary pack society
Pretending is the basis of civilised society, and it is sometimes necessary for all of us. Without it we are nothing more than a pack of snarling dogs.
dexter family love
I wanted Dexter to have a family that could love him and understand him.
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.
cheapen good
'Dexter' has been very, very good to me. I would rather stop doing it than cheapen it.
comics creative felt home life marvel relevant wellspring
Marvel Comics has always been a place where I felt at home. It has been a very important part of my life and has always been a wellspring of creative and relevant ideas.
I was expecting someone dark to play 'Dexter' - someone like Johnny Depp.
basic carefully concept hide life monster pretend quietly
We all pretend, we all hide things, so why not take the concept to an extreme? That is the basic idea for the character of Dexter. Pretend to be human, while quietly and carefully living out the life of a monster on the side.
capital eliminate
I don't agree with capital punishment as it is now, because too often mistakes are made. But I think that if you eliminate the mistakes, then there are times when it is justified.
god hardly morning organized
I wish to God I was organized enough to tell you that, 'Yes, there will be 14 books, and this one will go here, and that one will go there'... but to be honest, I hardly know what I'm going to do when I get up in the morning.
time
I don't have much time to sit and watch a lot of TV. And I can't really binge-watch.
