Quotes

Isaiah: (on being labeled a difficult actor) Hopefully I'll have an opportunity to address a lot of that down the road. It'd be very cleansing for my soul to let the fans and the general public see a side of me that I feel was horribly represented in the press. (edit)
Isaiah: I apologize to T.R., my colleagues, the fans of the show and especially the lesbian and gay community for using a word that is unacceptable in any context or circumstance, by repeating the word Monday night, I marred what should have been a perfect night for everyone who works on Grey's Anatomy. I can neither defend nor explain my behavior. I can also no longer deny to myself that there are issues I obviously need to examine within my own soul, and I've asked for help. I know the power of words, especially those that demean. I realize that by using one filled with disrespect I have hurt more than T.R. and my colleagues. With one word, I've hurt everyone who has struggled for the respect so many of us take for granted. I welcome the chance to meet with leaders of the gay and lesbian community to apologize in person and to talk about what I can do to heal the wounds I've opened. T.R.'s courage throughout this entire episode speaks to his tremendous character. I hold his talent, and T.R. as a person, in high esteem. I know a mere apology will not end this, and I intend to let my future actions prove my sincerity. (edit)
Isaiah: I was young and dumb...And one day I popped off my mouth to the wrong person and got shot. (edit)
Isaiah: There was a time I didn't think I'd live past 25. (edit)
Isaiah: I have a hero complex. I like to get involved with things that are none of my business. It's gotten me in a lot of trouble. (edit)

I love Grey's anatomy. It has drama, style, flare, creativity, and, CONTROVERSY. However, I simply can't imagine a Burke-less GA.

That something that always puzzle me, why do people really care what an actor think or do in his private life.

I know that there are a lot of people that think he is a bad guy for what happened on the set of Grey's Anatomy. I know that he his also referred to being egotistical and self centered.
