• "...it's emotionless Dexter who gives the whole enterprise its air of detachment.

• "In a strange way, playing David during the first season (of Six Feet Under) required me to get in touch with my homophobia. He had such internalized loathing for who he was. I certainly have moved forward in my life, in my own relationship to my self-loathing, by having played David."http://www.tv.com/michael-c.-hall/person/47125/trivia.html
