Quotes

Paul: I've been an actor for so long. I've had about a hundred jobs. So I, you know, I have all the confidence that I'd get another job if this one ended. (edit)
Paul: I get unnerved when people call it a procedural drama. It's not that these characters don't have issues; they just don't reveal them. It's the way a classical musician works. There's an interpretation behind the notes. It's not overt. (edit)
Paul: For people to accept the roles I play, it's better to keep myself out of it. (edit)
