I’ve always fantasized about being on TV. And I was. Then I fantasized about being in the movies. What could be better than captain of a space ship? I get to ride horses, shoot guns, have adventures. Nathan Fillion Read Quote
I was a huge comic book fan as a kid. The only problem I had with comic books is how expensive they got. I didn’t have a lot of money, so I had to be very specific about what I wanted to collect. I think they’re all somewhere in the basement of my folks’ house. Nathan Fillion Read Quote
My brain is like a hard drive. Once you start adding new information, you start cutting off old information. Nathan Fillion Read Quote

I got amazing training both with Theatre Sports… back in Edmonton, Alberta – I can’t give those people enough credit – and the daytime drama I did. Incredible training, both of them. Nathan Fillion Read Quote
It’s a trap I’ve fallen into earlier in my career – trying to be liked. Don’t do it. When I watch TV and I see someone trying to make me like them, acting cute or quirky or goofy, I’m not impressed. Don’t act like America’s watching you. Just latch onto your character. Characters are flawed. Be unlikeable. Be flawed. Be a person. Nathan Fillion Read Quote
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. Nathan Fillion Read Quote
My first Comic-Con was when I first met Joss Whedon: He introduced me to that world and I’d never been to a convention before that. He and a bunch of the ‘Buffy’ and ‘Angel’ writers were all going down in a big van and he invited me along. Nathan Fillion Read Quote
There’s comedy even in tragedy. There’s comedy in life. And in ‘Castle’, we go for that comedy. Nathan Fillion Read Quote
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 Read Quote
