connection faces hours job realise single three
I know a lot of law officers, and every single one of them faces a moment - usually after about three hours on the job - when they realise that there's no connection between law and justice.
reality unicorn hard
...my conscience has the same hard reality as a unicorn.
real lying believe
They like to tell us that it is important to speak the truth, but it has been my experience that real happiness lies in having people tell you what you want to believe, usually not the same thing at all, and if you have to stub your toe on the truth later, so be it.
real emotional fake
Since I am not actually a real human being, my emotional responses are generally limited to what I have learned to fake.
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.
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.
