Fisher Stevens quotes:

But I like being nasty. I like being cranky. Especially if it's a cold day in Chicago, it's nice to just take it out on Kyle, because he's so easy to scream at, you know?

And TV is not the easiest place to be dangerous or on the edge. Especially on a Saturday night.

But I'm trying to play into this role as much as possible and be a nicer person in real life.

I wanted to do an episode about Chuck having a gambling problem. I wanted to portray my addiction on the show. But I think it's a little edgy for Saturday night.

The reason I took Early Edition - besides the fact that I liked it - was that it enabled me to start a production company in New York City. It's a low-budget film company to produce and direct movies.

I have a bit of a traveling addiction, and, ah, yeah. I went to, ah, Bali this summer.

Well, I just wanted to be a person. I just wanted them to keep writing me as humanistic as possible.

But I used to have a bit of a gambling problem. And that would have been the answer to my prayers. It got worse when I started playing this character, too.

I'm not even fifty yet, but I still feel like Instagram and Spotify - I'm trying to stay with it! It's not easy. The world is going so fast.

I really wanted to be born a woman. It all started there. A South American woman. And I'm upset that I was born a white Jewish male. I've been angry since.

You know, it's a very sexist society, Indonesia.

I think connection makes me vulnerable. Commitment makes me vulnerable, really.

But basically what I like are the possibilities, and the fantasy element of the show. Not science fantasy so much, but fantasy, the humanistic elements and how people relate when they're in a dire situation or comedic situation.

I like people and get along, and I'm afraid to express my anger and my rage.

I use that as my responsibility on the show, to be the pragmatist.

It got a little boring I guess, playing the same note over and over.

Human beings. People's stories. That's really what gets me excited.

I'm really obsessed with the past.

This human condition and people's stories. That's what I love. The other thing is traveling.

I love to travel, which is sort of why I do documentaries and why I'm in this whole world of movies - you get to meet amazing people and see how other people live. It opens your eyes. That's what I love.

I think love means a warm feeling about a human or a condition, where you feel emotional, and you feel like you want to be around them or it. You want to take care of it or them, the person, and be with them.

No, but I'm really lucky, because I'm not the superhero.

Technology changing the world so quickly. I think it's even more difficult for older people to keep up in the world. And that's a challenge.
