And TV is not the easiest place to be dangerous or on the edge. Especially on a Saturday night.

Fisher Stevens

I have a bit of a traveling addiction, and, ah, yeah. I went to, ah, Bali this summer.

Fisher Stevens

I used to be more of a wild kid. But I've slowed down.

Fisher Stevens

I'm really obsessed with the past.

Fisher Stevens

I like people and get along, and I'm afraid to express my anger and my rage.

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.

Fisher Stevens

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.

Fisher Stevens

No, but I'm really lucky, because I'm not the superhero.

Fisher Stevens

Well, I just wanted to be a person. I just wanted them to keep writing me as humanistic as possible.

Fisher Stevens

But I'm trying to play into this role as much as possible and be a nicer person in real life.

Fisher Stevens

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?

Fisher Stevens

Unfortunately, the public might not know that we get a script usually two days before shooting. So sometimes I'm shooting an episode and don't even know how it's going to end because I haven't read that yet.

Fisher Stevens

But did I think it would last more than 13 episodes at the time? No, I didn't think that. I never know.

Fisher Stevens

It got a little boring I guess, playing the same note over and over.

Fisher Stevens

I use that as my responsibility on the show, to be the pragmatist.

Fisher Stevens

I really wanted to be born a woman. It all started there. A South American woman. And I'm upset that I was born a white Jewish male. I've been angry since.

Fisher Stevens

You know, it's a very sexist society, Indonesia.

Fisher Stevens

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.

Fisher Stevens

But I used to have a bit of a gambling problem. And that would have been the answer to my prayers. It got worse when I started playing this character, too.

Fisher Stevens

Once I hit 25, I realized I had to do more than just be an actor. I love acting, but there's something that makes it difficult to just be a man, a grownup. Not to take away from any actors, but I knew I wasn't going to be Tom Cruise. I knew I was a character actor, which is great and I'm proud of it. But I knew that I wanted to do more. I started producing and directing and writing and stuff for the theater, and then that grew out of hand and I sort of lost my control. I've always loved the process of filmmaking. Now I'm much more into producing docs, but I want to direct features.

Fisher Stevens

I'm not even fifty yet, but I still feel like Instagram and Spotify - I'm trying to stay with it! It's not easy. The world is going so fast.

Fisher Stevens

I love to travel, which is sort of why I do documentaries and why I'm in this whole world of movies - you get to meet amazing people and see how other people live. It opens your eyes. That's what I love.

Fisher Stevens

I think love means a warm feeling about a human or a condition, where you feel emotional, and you feel like you want to be around them or it. You want to take care of it or them, the person, and be with them.
