Henry Ian Cusick Quotations

I wake up every day with a smile on my face.

Hawaii is a beautiful place to bring up a family.

I mean, I do wear a wedding ring and take it off when I shoot.

Being in Hawaii, it's almost impossible not to be fit, I think.

In an ideal world, I'd love to work on something that is on par with 'Lost' or better than 'Lost.

When I'm acting, I've always got to make it make sense to me why I do anything. Whether it's right or wrong, I've just got to believe this is the reason why I am doing this and just go with it.

For all the creationists out there, Darwin's just an atheist. But he was actually agnostic.

I do have to go to the gym, which I don't enjoy that much.

I feel like I'm part of television history.

I feel like there's a lot of great writing on television.

I like romantic comedies, as it is a fun and light thing to get involved with.

I love Terry O'Quinn. He's a wonderful guy, wonderful actor.

I love the sci-fi world and the way it makes me start to question things.

I love working in TV. TV is fast. You shoot it and it's done quickly.

I started watching 'Star Trek' as a kid.

I swim. I do a little bit of surfing. I would say I'm a beginner at surfing. I run. I cycle. I play a little bit of soccer.

I would like to have a 'Lost' clapper board with the numbers and the clock at the top.

My theatre background is probably more extensive then my film, and I have done a fair bit of television.

'Not Another Happy Ending' is a romantic comedy starring Karen Gillan and Stanley Weber. It is about these two characters and their relationships.

'Scandal' is a huge hit. I'm happy for them, but it was never a really good fit for me.

That's the thing with 'Lost': you can put a spin on so many things.

The viewing figures for 'Lost' were huge. I don't think the viewing figures for 'The 100' are up there with 'Lost'; hopefully, they will be.

When I was filming 'Lost,' we'd be in the jungle. The only thing we had to contend with was the sound of the ocean. That was it, really.

With television, I worked on 'Lost,' where you'd just put your faith in the writers and go with what they're writing.

'Lost' was filmed in Hawaii, so we stayed there and loved it, so we thought, 'Why would we leave?' It is a bit like growing up in a bubble, but I don't think that's a bad thing, as you will eventually get out and see the real world.

'Lost' fans were fantastic fans. I've said this before, but they were rabid, and they questioned everything - they were merciless, but I loved them for that.

I'd imagine if there were more Scottish people making Scottish movies about Scotland, it would not only be educational, but it would instill a sense of pride.

I did work a lot in Scots theatre, but I was never really successful in Scottish film or TV until I went down to London - and I had to go to the U.S. to get my big break.

I was born in Peru, and we moved to Scotland when I was 15, but I've not lived here for a long time. But I would always say that I am Scottish, and Scotland is as close to a home as I have.

I was a theater actor back in the U.K., and you knew the whole play, so you could plot your storyline and character. And then I did 'Lost' and didn't know, and it was kind of frustrating, but I enjoyed it.

I think any parent, at some time or other, has thoughts of their child dying. That's probably one of the worst things that could ever happen to a parent.

Coming off a show like 'Lost,' there were other offers, but it was difficult to get excited about anything because 'Lost' was such a great piece of writing and such a hit show.

In film, I think that you do have a little more time to invest in the character compared to television, where you are shooting from the hip and making quick choices. It is the speed of things that is the major difference - certainly in my experience.

I like thinking about what could be out there, and I love the questions that sci-fi poses.
