jobs writing thinking
I tried my hand at writing, I tried to write out a little script - and it's not too bad. Mostly, though, it let me understand how incredibly difficult that job is. I can't even imagine doing it on a weekly basis for a series in any way. That's tough. I think I'll try to leave that to smarter people than me.
falling-in-love back-love way
I told myself a while back, 'Love what you do, but don't fall in love with what you do.' That way you won't be brokenhearted if ever it gets canceled five episodes in - which has happened to me.
blessing fantastic-life blind
I've got a fantastic life. I enjoy what I do for a living. I see the blessings; I'm not blind.
fun writing character
Working on 'Drive', a lot of fun. This is Tim Minear whom I've worked with before on 'Firefly' of course. He called me up and said, 'I've got a part for you that you will love,' and I love Tim's writing. I love his stories. I love his characters, his dialogue. He has a knack for reveals and he has a knack for moments.
art book thinking
I enjoy the art, and I enjoy drawing. I think my printing to this day looks like the printing right out of a comic book.
boys unlucky describe-me
Oh, boy. I'm still in touch with about 90 percent of my exes. They would describe me as being unlucky in love.
writing imagination guy
'Castle' is a guy living in a fantasy world. He's in his imagination, writing these stories of murder.
castles murder wonder
'Castle' isn't really affected emotionally by murder. He's thrilled about, 'Oh, my God, I wonder how this happened?'
thinking people coattails
I think I've been really good at surrounding myself with really talented people. I've picked the right coattails to ride on.
fun character trying
In all my characters, I try to find an iota of myself, and in Castle, I found a lot. He gets away with a lot, so that's fun.
cutting brain information
My brain is like a hard drive. Once you start adding new information, you start cutting off old information.
tragedy castles comedy
There's comedy even in tragedy. There's comedy in life. And in 'Castle', we go for that comedy.
dirty weekend hands
I like doing things where I can get dirty, work with my hands, and use power tools. Last weekend, I did some grouting.
book kids thinking
I was a huge comic book fan as a kid. The only problem I had with comic books is how expensive they got. I didn't have a lot of money, so I had to be very specific about what I wanted to collect. I think they're all somewhere in the basement of my folks' house.
