Quotes

Masi: I'm bad with women, but Heroes definitely helped me improve my social skills, and helped me not get rejected so much. (edit)
Masi: When I was a kid, I really wanted telekinesis so I didn't have to leave my couch for the remote. (edit)
Masi: Don’t tell someone they’re a nerd or that they can only act. You can do whatever you want. The sky is limitless. Only you can create your dreams. (edit)
Masi: You know, I've actually been very good about not going on the Internet, I only look at things that my publicist and my friends send me, although I did see this one thing that my publicist sent me, I went online and it said, "oh my god, Hiro Nakamura, I love him so much. I want to make him my pet. I want to lock him up, talk to him, kiss him, I want to make him literally my pet." You know what, as long as they feed me, I'm all for it. (edit)
(Interviewed by Ausiello and asked,"What can we expect for the season finale for Heroes?")

"Personal favorite"
I heard somewhere that his character in Heros was an after thought. Wouldn't be the same without him.
