“I've always found ways to bend the rules.” — Michael Shanks Quote

I've always found ways to bend the rules.

It was nice, though, to have the long term benefit to be able to pare away those things and eventually make the character my own and put my own unique stamp.

I think that you can take things personally or get hurt feelings as a result of something not working out just because your psyche said it should or you deserve it, or whatever it is.

You know, if it doesn't work, we can always cut it.

For some reason, it popped into my head the notion that a lot of the Next Generation cast in the long run of that show managed to step behind the camera.

I worry about Zimbabweans. They bend, they bend, they bend, they bend - where do the people break? How long can they go on scrounging for food in garbage dumps and using the moisture from sewage drains to plant vegetables?

I find that moving keeps me optimistic, the idea of what's going to be down the road a bit or around the next bend.

People, they don't know how to bend; they just break.

It's always fun to play a character that bends the rules.

I'm not thrilled that I have a tramp stamp. When you see people bend over in their really low-cut jeans, I'm like, 'Oh... that's what I have.'
