I'm not a big movie-goer. I just feel like I'm watching work.

Do you want to see a mother and son antagonistically attack each other every single episode for five years? I don't think so.

The most fun I've had on 'Burn Notice,' I think it would have to be working with China Chow and Lucy Lawless.

I'm very shy in real life; I can't really hit on girls.

I could never say I'm going to do bigger and better things because that would negate what I've already accomplished, and I don't want to do that.

Encouragement from my high school teacher Patty Hart said 'you need to focus and theater might be your route out of here.' I created the program, went to college and graduate school and now here I am.

I think that, especially with cable, it's an avenue to be creative. I think why people are drawn more now to cable shows than ever is that they take more risks, they're creatively pushing the envelope. I think that the networks have to answer to a bigger advertising calling, whereas the smaller cables have lower ceilings that they can bump their heads on.
