mean knowing stories
Of course, having information to use is one thing. Knowing what it means and how to use it is a different story.
mean lunch missing
Of course it was a terrible thing, and the world would be a much better place without someone in it who could do that, but did that mean we had to miss lunch?
mean dislike-me kind
I mean, really: what kind of person could possibly dislike me?
real mean thinking
As I've said, freedom is really an illusion. Anytime we think we have a real choice, it just means we haven't seen the shotgun aimed at our navel.
mean firsts breakfast
I know family comes first, but shouldn't that mean after breakfast?
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.
cheapen good
'Dexter' has been very, very good to me. I would rather stop doing it than cheapen it.
tv
Someone who is not a killer is not going to watch a TV show and decide to be a killer.
