De Niro was a hero of mine. And Sean Penn. But I've realized I can't operate at that level of intensity. That's okay for movies. On TV, when you live with horror day in and day out, you have to protect yourself.

More quotes by Christopher Meloni
Life is never straightforward or emotionally black and white.
Christopher Meloni
I still have a dream of one day - I would love to hire a semi-retired contractor and just build a house - him and I building a house for me. I would truly love to do that
Christopher Meloni
You can be childlike without being childish.
Christopher Meloni
I rarely see one of the 'summer blockbuster' movies. I'd like to see a stronger focus on smaller, smarter movies.
Christopher Meloni
In my own defense, I wrote a one-man show, and that to me was more where I fit.
Christopher Meloni
You can watch any episode you want and have a compelling story being told.
Christopher Meloni
You can be childlike without being childish. A child always wants to have fun. Ask yourself, 'Am I having fun?'

I took acting classes in college, and once I graduated, I decided to give acting a shot when I couldn't really think of anything else to do. It took me a couple of years to get an agent, and my first big break was The Fanelli Boys, which was a sitcom on NBC. Then I did a few television movies.
Christopher Meloni
TV's hard work. I don't know how the hell Angela Lansbury survived doing 'Murder, She Wrote' all those years.
Christopher Meloni
I never find sincerity offensive... so, be sincere.
Christopher Meloni
It ain't easy to break out of a mold, but if you do your work, people will ultimately see what you're capable of. Too often, people find it easier to make assumptions and stick with what they believe. They put you in a place and it makes their job easier. The good people constantly search for something different.
Christopher Meloni
Crime is one of the leads of the show. If there's ever anything that deals with a character's personal life, you don't have to worry about it getting too crazy. People don't have to worry about character arcs. Each episode is a self-contained unit.
Christopher Meloni
I'm a nudist at heart.
Christopher Meloni
My first thought when I came here was that I understood why there are so many great Irish writers - because there is something mystical in the air. There's always this cloudy, moody sky and it's challenging.
Christopher Meloni
I'd have to say Bali's my favorite place that I've visited.
Christopher Meloni
When I portray Stabler, I have to shave every day and cut my hair every week! And then, I really like to change my looks for films like 'Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle' where I have the pleasure of playing the ugliest man in the world.
Christopher Meloni
The reason why I hate working in theatre is the tedium of memorisation. But once that is done, then you feast on this never-ending meal. If you play it correctly, every night is fraught with very high stakes that are very difficult to find in everyday life.
Christopher Meloni
It is a weird feeling to have people go, 'Hey Chris' like they know me. But, number one, 99 percent of my experiences have been really cool. People couldn't be nicer and more positive.
Christopher Meloni
I'm always learning from experiences because each one is different and there are different players involved in the project at the time with their own way of doing things
Christopher Meloni
My wife has brought great beauty into my life. And my daughter has brought me nothing but joy. Those qualities were greatly lacking.
