- Marton: I like the exploration of different psychologies and different physicalities. I also enjoy seeing the world through different eyes at a practical level, and particularly travel.
  Edit Share Hide
- Marton: (on his "Xena: Warrior Princess" character) I don't see Borias as being bad. I see him as a person who is loyal to his principles, with war being a part of his world. His fundamental motivation was derived from survival, principles of war, family, and even love, and the maintaining of a life beyond just running around killing people. So, in a way, he has quite an honest profession.

- Marton: (on leaving New Zealand for Hollywood) I don't feel like I'm an imposter here. There is something amoral, ambivalent or tenuous about somebody's nationality in the arts- it does matter, but then again it doesn't from an actor's perspective.
