ADD QUOTES-
Steven (talking about the murder of his sister and his brother-in-law): They (both) seemed to be able to touch everyone around them in a positive way. Their deaths are a huge blow that we're all still reeling from. The only positive thing I can say is that we've all been inspired to follow their example in our lives. They were truly amazing people.

Steven Culp: My ambition was to be in a Robert Altman movie because I loved the ambiance that he set up and it seemed to be an actor's paradise to work in those movies. I'd love to work with M. Night Shyamalan. He's the most Hitchcockian of contemporary directors. In that there's and an emotional resonance that goes beyond the material. Shyamalan is the only one who has such a strong emotional pull and seems to be about things that are unnamable and it's not just a tricked up thriller plot. He really hits an emotional place.
