Basically, after an ABC sitcom I did, I ended up with a holding deal with 20th Century Fox. Absolutely cool. It pays you to be unemployed. And the bigger the entity that gives you the deal, the better.

More quotes by Nathan Fillion
I'm not a famous celebrity of any kind. I'm a guy from Edmonton who's got a great job and I'm loving it.
Nathan Fillion
There are people who have energy that say don't come near me, don't get too close. There's people like Adrienne Shelley who have the energy of come over here and give me a hug and if you're around me you're going to be happy about it.
Nathan Fillion
I don't spend a lot of time online.
Nathan Fillion
My worst day is still a really good day. I complain, but I catch myself and count my blessings. I am truly blessed.
Nathan Fillion
I still buy actual books. The smell, having it in your hands - there's really no substitute.
Nathan Fillion
I slowly came to realize that this job of being an actor, you spend most of your time looking for work. That is your job. Your job is auditioning. You spend very little of your time actually working.
Nathan Fillion
People keep inviting me back. It's nice to work with the same people when you've had a good time previously, and this is one of those cases.
Nathan Fillion
It's so great in Hollywood now. You have people past 40 sitting and talking about serious stuff, writing and making movies and TV, but there's laser pistols and superheroes and alien monsters involved. It's viable and mainstream.
Nathan Fillion
There's only one spot in history for the first ever of anything.
Nathan Fillion
Castle is a guy living in a fantasy world. He's in his imagination, writing these stories of murder.
Nathan Fillion
No one wants to see a person on TV who's super-ultra-cool. That's Superman, that's a thing of the past. Heroes are now flawed, and have terrible tempers, you know? They're real people.
Nathan Fillion
You know, I endeavor to be more like my older brother. He's very magnetic. He's actually very much like 'Castle' in that people are attracted to him, and just want to be near him. You want to know where my brother is in a crowded room? He's the guy with the crowd around him.

You want to put out a TV show? If you have the money to do it on your own, by yourself, and you have a TV network, you can do it by yourself. But the nature of the beast is, art needs finance. That's how this industry works. So until the Internet becomes our source of entertainment - and watch it, I believe it will - this is how things go.
Nathan Fillion
I'll tell you what I really enjoy. We all go to the movies, we all watch television, we know what they're about, how they work. When the main character is a cop or a spy, it's very exciting, but I also very much enjoy when the main characters are nobodies - a trucker.
Nathan Fillion
I think it's a dance that people want to see. It's a chemistry that people want to see. In the same way that people don't want to see a perfect hero with no flaws who can handle anything, people don't want to see a perfect relationship. There's nothing interesting about that. People want to see you fail.
Nathan Fillion
My job changes very little because I've found that the more you try to be funny, the less funny you become.
Nathan Fillion
Thank God there is a such thing as hiatus. We got the first 'Dr. Horrible' done in six days, we banged it out.
Nathan Fillion
I'm actually reading 'World War Z' again! It's incredibly realistic and it's written as an oral history through interviews with different characters. Max Brooks wrote this book in so many different voices. There are about forty or so. It's incredible. When I finish 'World War Z' I'm going to go back and start again on the 'Game of Thrones' series.
Nathan Fillion
When you work on a soap opera, that's three years of you working every day. There was no time to do anything other than the soap opera - you're locked in.
Nathan Fillion
I have a trophy case that contains all the action figures ever made of me. It also has items I've stolen from my movies, like three guns and holsters from 'Serenity'.
