Steven Pasquale

Steven: (about what real firemen think about Rescue Me) We've sort of gotten their stamp of approval in terms of my experience running into the guys actually on the job. And, you know, that has meant more to us than any of the reviews and the ratings and what-not, to feel like they feel we hit the nail on the head, in terms of the dynamic in the firehouse and the struggles at home with wives and kids.

Steven: Wanna see the effort that goes into creating a character on Rescue Me? I accidentally made a monkey face for Denis [Leary] one day in the trailer, little did I know the next month I would be spent on national television making the same goddamn face.

Steven: (talking sarcastically about Denis Leary) What a jerk, you know, his writing is so sub-par… and he just can't act. He's a comedian really, I mean you know… I guess he's okay for a 'comedian', but at the end of the day, it's like… you know when they need the money shot, they go to the other guys… forget Denis.
