I am one of the lucky few who is successful in their career, and I'm really enjoying myself.

I've had a long line of failed television programs, pilots that were never picked up, series that didn't go very long. I've learned that there's really nothing you can do. If it's not in my control, I try not to worry about it.

In all my characters, I try to find an iota of myself, and in Castle, I found a lot. He gets away with a lot, so that's fun.

Somebody once said that you can never act and be another person; you're only acting facets of yourself. I think there's a lot of truth in that.

I think I've been really good at surrounding myself with really talented people. I've picked the right coattails to ride on.

I have jobs that I've preferred more than others simply because I've gotten to meet and make friends with great people. I've pulled at least one very close friend from every project I've done.

I have a trophy case that contains all the action figures ever made of me. It also has items I've stolen from my movies, like three guns and holsters from 'Serenity'.
