- Davis: And that's the wonderful thing about being an actor. You get to be everything you ever wanted to be without having to go through any of the heartache of being it. It is the advantage of being in this profession.

- Davis: (Referring to his character on The Nanny, Niles) It was one of those moments you find out something about a character... a side to them that you have no idea exists. In some ways, Niles works best the less you know about him. You don't really want to blow too much knowledge about him at this point or maybe ever, because he really works best when he comes in and does something completely surprising.

- Davis: They all really believed in the whole notion of sinister, and being lefthanded you were somehow marked by Satan. I don't mean to make us out as booga-booga type people, but there was pressure. When I first got to school, my first grade teacher was kind of questioning my choice of picking up the pencils and crayons with my left hand.
