- (on filming his episode of "Fear Itself") Roberts: It was like being at a really hard, hard camp and it was really fun, and it was all thanks really to the crew because they are there every week and they know what they're doing and they know why they're doing it, and they have fun doing so. And it was just - it was such a pleasure every day to arrive on the set. It really was. I can't emphasize that enough with this crew.

- Roberts: I've always found one-man shows comical. Although I'd never do one myself.
