Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Comedian sort of enjoys the darkness because, essentially, he's a thug. He's just not a nice guy.

I think, before 'Watchmen,' I was the guy from 'Grey's Anatomy' who's a pretty good guy, a pretty charming sweet guy, and so as an actor, I really wanted to do something as far from that as I could.

A 12-year-old can watch 'Spiderman.' A 12-year-old cannot watch 'Watchmen.'

I do some of my best work when I'm dead.

It's mostly women who I get really weird fan mail from.

It's hard to boo a puppy. You can't boo a handful of puppies.

I've become accustomed to playing the good guy - maybe a rough exterior, but a heart of gold in there somewhere.

I think the challenge for me in this role is going to be, is there any heart in Negan? For me, I look at that as a challenge as an actor, and that's the kind of thing that I embrace and really look forward to.

Within a five-month period, I got 'Weeds,' 'Supernatural,' and 'Grey's.' I think a lot of it had to do with luck.

Some nights, a romantic dinner can be killed by having to do dishes afterward, so it probably suits you better to go out for dinner. But I love cooking and always have.

'The Exoricist' and 'The Shining,' there is some horrific stuff, and it's mostly what you put in your own head, which I find amazing.

I've always had a problem showing fear on a film.

I'm a complete skeptic when it comes to the supernatural and all that. I've never had any ghost stories or any kind of weird experiences.

I think you judge your career by the scripts that are being sent your way.

I usually play tough guys and stuff like that.

I was a huge fan of the original Red Dawn. America and brothers, you can't beat that in my world. I think there's nothing greater.

He is scary as the butcher, but you will not meet a lovelier, more interesting guy than Danny Huston. His stories leave me spellbound. I adore him.

I've called myself an actor - I won't say I've been an actor, but I've called myself an actor - since 1989. That's when I moved to Los Angeles.

Being an actor is a crazy way to spend one's life. It's the love of the game. Blind luck has a lot to do with it. Then you hope when you get your shot that you know what you're doing.

I literally will write Shonda Rhimes, the creator of 'Grey's,' an e-mail once a month or so and just say, 'Hey, I love you and thank you.' That was my moment. Because of that, I'm doing 'Magic City.'

Jon Hamm - I know him. I love him.

It's just as easy for me to be building a fence somewhere and scraping by on unemployment in between doing a guest star spot. I've been there.

I have a lot of respect for what I do, for this profession.

I always was irritated doing network television... You're in love, you make love. That happens.

What's special about Miami is the collision of cultures. And the white sand beaches and fantastic restaurants.

If it's football season, all things sort of stop. I'm from Seattle, so I'll watch the Seahawks and whatever other game that day is worthy.

I love myself a truffle. I can put a truffle in anything and make it good.

In a Western, you talk more with your eyes and your actions than you do with big speeches. I love that.

In a Western, you don't over-explain.

I love the challenge of having an audience know what you're thinking without having to tell the audience what you're thinking.

If I could just make Westerns for the rest of my life, that's all I would do. It's my favorite movie to make. There's something about being a cowboy.

I've worked with kids that are just horrendous, and it's mostly because of their parents.

I love Bill Murray, but I'm not quite Bill Murray. I wish!

I live in the woods, so really the only way you can get to me is if you send a letter.

There's that rule, don't work with kids and animals. There's a reason for that!

I have this weird allergy where metal can't touch my skin.

Puerto Rico is beautiful. I mean, I love it. But it's hard to film here. It's hard to film an action movie here where you're outside, and you're running around all day.

My agent will say, 'Well, it's another graphic novel.' I don't care. It's better writing than anything else that's out there. The characters are much better.

I feel like if you shoot one scene all day long or you take two days to do a scene, that scene is going to be stale.

The great thing about Starz is that there's not a lot of restrictions.

Since Chris Albrecht took over the network, I think more and more people are finding Starz. He made HBO what HBO became, and now he's doing the same thing at Starz.

Once I got over my initial butterflies, being in the same room and doing a scene with Jimmy Caan was great. I never backed down for one second against him. I loved it. I love those moments. Working with people like that is the greatest joy you can get as an actor.

I haven't watched a lot of episodes of 'The Good Wife.' I never even saw the show until I signed on, and then I watched seven episodes.

I don't think I could last in anything for 10 years doing a character.

If you outsmart your audience, you're going to lose them.

I grew up with my uncle's comic books at my grandma's house, so I've always loved my comic book reading.

I go to Comic-Con every year, generally with some project of some sort.

I was an artist - I fancied myself an artist - I sold paintings at bars to pay my rent.

I had no intention of being an actor, ever.

If you look at my resume, I've more often than not played a very solid, decent human being.
