“I used to play a lot of 'Civilization Revolution.' It's a strategy gam...” — Matt Czuchry Quote

I used to play a lot of 'Civilization Revolution.' It's a strategy game that takes six to eight hours. You literally have to block off a full Sunday.

I am a very private person, but when you get recognized, it's an opportunity to make somebody's day.

Theoretically, I could do a movie, but the window is so small, it's very difficult to get timings right and find the right project you love, and they love you back.

In the fourth-grade talent show, my buddies and I dressed up like the California Raisins - they were big then! - and lip-synched.

I love people. And what I love about people is that everyone is unique.

The desert is cold early in the morning. Laying down on that sand is like laying on a block of ice.

I can guard guys my size and bigger, because, typically, I'm stronger than them, but sometimes guys get by me on the wing. It's not as big a deal because I can recover pretty well and I'll block their shot at the rim, but I hate when guys go past me on the wing. I hate that.

Before my father would open up a karate school in a particular neighborhood, he'd clean up the block - kick all the drug dealers and gang bangers off the block. My father was very clear: 'I've got guns too, and I'll kill you just as much as a rival gang would.' And he meant it. He was a man of many facets and complexities.

Being quick off the ground helps you block shots.
