Ben McKenzie Quotations

I've always been kind of a loner. Continue to be.

Sometimes those fears creep into the back of your head, but then you slap yourself and think, 'Oh, woe is me! People actually like me.' What a silly thing to worry about. This is a huge opportunity, and I'm excited.

I had one year of struggle. My parents were always there, but I didn't want to rely on them. Now it's moving pretty fast. I'm not rich, but obviously this is fantastic. All I know to do with money is put it in a shoebox anyway.

It's a Fox thing, the bad-boy image. They're trying to type me out. There are worse things in life, you know. I'm just really excited about the opportunity.

It's against type in the sense of my background, but it's with type in the sense that I am a loner who's new to this business and sceptical about a lot of it.

Modern medicine is advancing to the point where the average human life span will be 100. But I read this article which said Social Security is supposed to run out by the year 2025, which means people are going to have to stay at their jobs until they're 80. So I don't want to commit to anything too soon.

I didn't really know what I wanted to do, so I thought I'd get a good education and do some acting at the same time.

I am trying to win the trust of my pen pal in the US to facilitate my travel there. If it fails, I would be compelled to resort to the use of illegal credit cards to get what I want, as my colleagues do,

usually our relations abroad are those who get us the numbers of other people's credit cards. We have a way of manipulating the numbers to recharge it, but I cannot show you.

The whole scene is very strange. It's a very strange town and a very strange business, and it has a tendency to creep me out.

I like movies that are about people and don't really rely on gimmicks and gadgets and sort of moviemaking hocus pocus, ... We're just telling a story and hopefully we're telling it well. It lives or dies on the strength of that story and your ability to tell it.

I kind of got away from everything for a little while, which was really nice.
