Latest Grant Bowler Quotes from Interviews

• Television is what we call the long form of storytelling, where we tell stories over thirteen, twenty-two, or twenty-four hours.

• Strangely enough, I find myself more centered in chaos than in calm, and again I'm not sure whether that's a strength or says something weird about me, but I love a crisis.
