Chyler: I think television is great because it gives you consistency.

Chyler: At the end of the day who knows how long this [Grey's Anatomy] is going to last? I don't know. I need to look past it and set things up for the future so that however long this does last, great, I'm so flattered and so grateful to work in this town.

Chyler: Starting clean is a theme for me — starting fresh and understanding what’s important about life. Instead of being passive, becoming passionate about what I do, what I want. It is just living life intentionally — that is what I want instead of just existing.
(edit)
Chyler: I would, for the most part, rather kiss than make love. If a guy can't kiss, I don't think he'd be very good in bed.
