nice thinking feelings
I think that's nice, and if I could have feelings at all I would have them for Deb.
nice believe men
I waved to everybody. Some of them even waved back. They knew me, had seen me go by before, always cheerful, a big hello for everybody. He was such a nice man. Very friendly. I can’t believe he did those horrible things . . .
nice problem reason
It's always me, isn't it? I'm not really a very nice person, but for some reason it's always me that they come to with their problems.
nice pride clothes
I thought about the nice clothes that I always wore. Well of course I did. I took pride in being the best dressed monster in Dade County.
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.
basic business faking human meeting moment pub reveal single spent time truth
A single moment spent in a business meeting or at a pub is more than enough to reveal the basic human truth that we are all faking it most of the time.
