- William Russ: (When asked if he monitors his children's TV watching) Yes, of course. They don't watch much TV during the week. There is so much media hype.

- William Russ: (When asked if any place where he has lived is more meaningful to him) I was born in Virginia but spent a lot of time in New Orleans, so I love both of those places. But right now, I live in California, so I like it here too.

- William Russ: (on jobs he has had other than acting) I have been a welder, a cab driver, a waiter, a cook, dishwasher, garbage truck worker. I like to write so I probably would write more if I didn't act. Maybe more directing too.
