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.

More quotes by Nathan Fillion
I like to say there's certain things you can't take back: One of them is 'I love you,' and one of them is bullets.
Nathan Fillion
I think maybe, if I could be a Canadian super hero, I'd have some kind of freezing power and some sort of maple syrup weapon. Could be a little sticky.
Nathan Fillion
I still buy actual books. The smell, having it in your hands - there's really no substitute.
Nathan Fillion
I was attending the University of Alberta. I was going to be a high school teacher, like my parents. I failed - no, I didn't fail a class, I just barely passed. I really didn't try. It was Canadian history, through the plays of the time. My God, those were boring plays.
Nathan Fillion
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.
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
I'm comfortable only when there's a mutual attraction. That's what anyone wants. If I find out she's not attracted to me, it brings down my level of attraction to her. If I'm interested and find out she's not, I tend to cool off.
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
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.
Nathan Fillion
My dinner spot is usually in front of the TV. I'll grill a steak and whip up a salad and watch 'Hoarders.' I love it because a) I'm kind of voyeuristic, and b) every time I see an episode, I go to the one room where all my unpacked boxes wound up, and I throw out a box of stuff.
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
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'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
The nature of the beast is, art needs finance. That's how this industry works.
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.

I had a Ford F-250. It was a big ol' farm truck, but it wasn't a rig. That's about the biggest I've ever driven. That's what I drove back and forth to high school. I was a poor guy, and it was a truck that my uncle owned and let me drive because I had no money.
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
There's only one spot in history for the first ever of anything.
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
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.
