- Doug Savant: If a woman would tell me, hey that thing you just did was sexy, I just repeat doing that. I think that's the way guys do it.

- Doug Savant: (talking about his "tv wife" Felicity Huffman) I really don't want us to have an affair-I love the relationship so much. I keep asking everyone on set to please not give us any domestic strife! I have never felt so connected to any role, and it's because of how incredibly believable the relationship is. I would much rather deal with the everyday problems that most couples in America deal with-how do you keep the romance going when you have a career and kids, that kind of thing-versus the extramarital stuff.

- Doug Savant: (talking about his friend Felicity Huffman) I would be happy to escort Felicity Huffman anywhere in life. She's a dear friend and I love Bill too. And you can't say Bill Macy without saying one of the greatest actors on the planet. I think that is mandatory, comes in your Screen Actors' Guild handbook now. No, we get along famously and I have the utmost respect for them.
