Fisher Stevens Quotations

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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?

But did I think it would last more than 13 episodes at the time? No, I didn't think that. I never know.

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.

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

I used to be more of a wild kid. But I've slowed down.

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

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.

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

Unfortunately, the public might not know that we get a script usually two days before shooting. So sometimes I'm shooting an episode and don't even know how it's going to end because I haven't read that yet.

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 saw it a little darker, a little different. I envisioned it a little more insane, and a little more devious. I thought I was going to be the devil.

Actually, I had a, I had a pet tortoise.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

I'm really obsessed with the past.

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