Here is some quotes from David himself.
1. They just don’t like me, and I love that. It’s like, "I’m Derek Jeter and I’m playing in your house. Don’t like me," and I applaud that....
2. I was always one who was clowning around in school and getting in trouble.
3. (on appearing as Angel in the very last "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" episode) I pretty much slid right back in. It was another day of work. I'm not big with reunions, but it was fine.
4. I want to make films and write films, which will happen, I'm just taking a different route right now. I'm a bit of a chameleon with the whole entertainment industry so to speak.
5. Shooting a television show can be very difficult and at times can really wear on you. If you keep reminding yourself that it is a job and you show up together as a team and as a whole, you can prevail.
6. I loved working with Sarah [Michelle Gellar]...Sarah is great. A great person. Without Sarah I wouldn't be standing here right now. So I owe her a lot.
7. I see L.A. as a beautiful blonde with dirty underwear.
8. "[on the subject of hipness] It's just one of those things. It's like buttering an English muffin. An English muffin is hip. Because it's so good".
9. [When told that Amy Acker told a reporter that he sometimes flashes his fellow stars:] "Yeah, I pull my trousers down in the middle of a serious take to see if they can keep a straight face. I need to lighten the moment, I guess."
10. [on almost turning down the part of Seely in "Bones" (2005)] I had a difficult first meeting with [the producers] because I'm pretty frank. I was kind of in the mentality of, "This is who I am. This is me. I can offer this. But you don't have your leading lady yet." ... For me, I come from a stock of family [where] my handshake is better than a contract. And I've gotten burnt a lot on that, but I wear my heart on my sleeve and I will continue to. ... I looked at it as an opportunity to take a character, mold him and take a lot of chances.... I personally am kind of sticking towards the attitude of what it's like to walk the fine line of potentially having a '69 Chevelle with a 396 under the hood and 375 horsepower, and the fine line of being correct as an FBI officer. (November 22, 2006) ''And I was kind of conflicted with some of the ideas of 'Is this going to be recent bones or ... a recently decomposed body?' It just didn't feel right.
11. I didn't come from a traditional background of studying theater and doing Shakespeare.
12. [about his character Seely Booth] He's a stand-up, blue-collar guy. I know the blue collar mentality. You meet these guys, you make friends, that's all stuff that I have.
13. [about his mother] I always thought of her as Doris Day.
14. For me, what I was doing with "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997) and "Angel" (1999), it was all about the pain and the torture and the sense of being in the alleyway. Not to take anything away from it, but those were some learning, hard, difficult times when I didn't know what the hell I was doing.
15. I didn't grow up as child actor. I was fortunate to find this show with a small character that grew into this huge cult thing. I was like, "Let's ride it." |
