I've always noticed a difference between working with a director and working with a writer/director. In how much they're invested and how specific they are.

More quotes by 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.

My job changes very little because I've found that the more you try to be funny, the less funny you become.

Castle is a guy living in a fantasy world. He's in his imagination, writing these stories of murder.
Nathan Fillion
I thought what would be really just choice for a revamp and a reboot is 'The Greatest American Hero.' I think I'd be just that kind of perfect not prepared for this kind of thing, but thrust into circumstances he's not prepared for... that's another niche of mine. Unpreparedness. Not knowing what to do. I'm good at being that guy.

I've had a long line of failed television programs, pilots that were never picked up, series that didn't go very long. I've learned that there's really nothing you can do. If it's not in my control, I try not to worry about it.

I don't have 4 or 5 projects in front of me and an offer on every one saying 'what one would you like to do?' Things come along one at a time.

The Incredibles was the best movie ever made. Ever. Made. BSTL.

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
When you slick back your hair, you get a really good idea of just how melon-like your head actually is.
Nathan Fillion
Oh, boy. I'm still in touch with about 90 percent of my exes. They would describe me as being unlucky in love.
Nathan Fillion
Do something today you've been afraid to do. A decision based on fear is the wrong decision.
Nathan Fillion
I realized, dumb people don't know they're dumb. When people try to make me laugh and they try to be funny, that's when they lose me. I find a lot of comedy in honesty.
Nathan Fillion
What draws me to roles, I think, are moments - moments that define character, where so much more of the story is told in just a moment - a look, a line, a short scene, but something that speaks a volume, something that speaks to me.
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
I kind of fell backwards into acting. I was studying to be a high school teacher. I look now and I understand completely, or actually barely, how much work it is to be a teacher. It's an incredible amount of work.

The trick is, when you grow up, find work that feels like play.

Being in the industry, I've seen many situations where someone will get the call from the network where they say 'You guys have 5 episodes to wrap it up.' Then all your long-term story arcs gotta get wrapped up in five episodes because that's how many episodes you got left. I would hate to see that happen to 'Castle'.
Nathan Fillion
You have a dramatic portion of your television program and you treat it dramatically, and then you have a comedic portion of your program, and you treat it differently. Why do you change who are between the two pieces? You're the same person. Just go.

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.

I think about my own daily choices every day in terms of how to find happiness.
