    • Richard Dean Anderson: (about the scar over his left eye) It's part of what we established in the character. We have to maintain it because it will grow over, and believe me, it's a pain in the butt to be walking around with this bareness there. It was one of those elements of movies and television that has always driven me crazy. So, I can't remember the episode, but I got hit in the eye or slugged or something, and we established a big bandage and the whole thing, and I told Jan [Newman, make-up artist], you know, this would leave a mark. Let's run with this. Let's keep it in there as part of what defines O'Neill. And so that's all it is. It's just a character thing.
    • Richard Dean Anderson: (about his dog Andy) She's just a rocket. She jumps, leaps, flies. It's the flying that gets her in trouble. She'll jump off walls, or through trees and bushes. And she hops! Her whole name when I got her was Rabbit Andy because she is such a hopper. She goes through the tall grass I have planted in the back, and literally she looks like a bunny, just bounding. That's the word - bounding!
    • Richard Dean Anderson: (about Stargate Continuum release) I must shout and tout the relative genius of both Mr. Wright and Mr. Wood. The darn thing looks, sounds, and behaves like a feature film. I am so frickin' proud of those guys.
