Quotes by Fisher Stevens
But basically what I like are the possibilities, and the fantasy element of the show. Not science fantasy so much, but fantasy, the humanistic elements and how people relate when they're in a dire situation or comedic situation.
I wanted to do an episode about Chuck having a gambling problem. I wanted to portray my addiction on the show. But I think it’s a little edgy for Saturday night.
But I like being nasty. I like being cranky. Especially if it’s a cold day in Chicago, it’s nice to just take it out on Kyle, because he’s so easy to scream at, you know?
The reason I took Early Edition – besides the fact that I liked it – was that it enabled me to start a production company in New York City. It’s a low-budget film company to produce and direct movies.
