3 December 2020 Nathan Fillion I kind of fell backwards into acting. I was studying to be a high school teacher. I look now and I understand completely, or actually barely, how much work it is to be a teacher. It’s an incredible amount of work.
3 December 2020 Nathan Fillion I consider ‘Dr. Horrible’ a tremendous success. The fact that it won an Emmy I just think lends validity to what we were doing and the point we were trying to make: taking the power into someone else’s hands and changing the world.
3 December 2020 Nathan Fillion I like doing things where I can get dirty, work with my hands, and use power tools. Last weekend, I did some grouting.
3 December 2020 Nathan Fillion I like making sci-fi movies because I like watching sci-fi movies. I like watching horror. I like being in a horror movie. I’m a fan. My perspective’s a little different just because I get to participate as well as spectate.
3 December 2020 Nathan Fillion I got amazing training both with Theatre Sports… back in Edmonton, Alberta – I can’t give those people enough credit – and the daytime drama I did. Incredible training, both of them.
3 December 2020 Nathan Fillion ‘Castle’ is a guy living in a fantasy world. He’s in his imagination, writing these stories of murder.
3 December 2020 Nathan Fillion 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’.
3 December 2020 Nathan Fillion It’s so great in Hollywood now. You have people past 40 sitting and talking about serious stuff, writing and making movies and TV, but there’s laser pistols and superheroes and alien monsters involved. It’s viable and mainstream.
3 December 2020 Nathan Fillion I’ve got a full plate, yes I do. That iPod, that’s nice. A phone recorder? Nicely done. All right I’m a bit of a tech geek. I have a subscription to Popular Science and I keep up on all this stuff.
3 December 2020 Nathan Fillion Basically, after an ABC sitcom I did, I ended up with a holding deal with 20th Century Fox. Absolutely cool. It pays you to be unemployed. And the bigger the entity that gives you the deal, the better.
3 December 2020 Nathan Fillion I’m comfortable only when there’s a mutual attraction. That’s what anyone wants. If I find out she’s not attracted to me, it brings down my level of attraction to her. If I’m interested and find out she’s not, I tend to cool off.
3 December 2020 Nathan Fillion I’ll never look down on and I love running into actors who say ‘Oh yeah, I did a soap.’ I say ‘Tell me which one!’ It’s like being a member of a secret society.
3 December 2020 Nathan Fillion I’ve always fantasized about being on TV. And I was. Then I fantasized about being in the movies. What could be better than captain of a space ship? I get to ride horses, shoot guns, have adventures.
