Kiefer Sutherland's quotes

(his reaction to winning the Golden Globe Award!) Now I know how Charlie Sheen feels, I've lost all feeling in my lower half.
When you're a young actor you like to go for characters with a bit of flair, so in many films I ended up playing the weirdos. But I can assure you I'm not a psycho or a criminal or a bully.
There are two kinds of event in rodeo and bull riding's one of the roughstock events. I was into immobilising cows myself.
On his 1990s career: You could say I was not on everybody's first list to do the bigger films. Luckily, other opportunities have come along.
Do I think it's important to the show (24 (2001)) that Jack eventually dies and does so when you least expect it? Yeah. It will be very obvious when people start going, "Oh, please. How many bad days can one guy have?".
If the acting thing hadn't worked out for me, I'd be laying phone cable in northern Ontario.
I think the most attractive thing (in a woman) is a sense of humor. If someone can make you laugh, you've gotten a lot out of the way.
I like chatting with people. If people ask me a direct question, I give them a direct answer and I feel I've always done that with the press.
[on winning the 2001 Best Actor Golden Globe Award] My mind went totally blank and my body went numb. It was a very surreal moment... It was a great night. I admit I felt really cocky for about 24 hours, and then I had to go back to work.
When asked what attracted him to film acting: I got into it for the girls.
Twelve years ago, if anyone had suggested I would do TV, I would have laughed at them. Film actors didn't do TV. But when I was finally offered 24 (2001), it came like a saving grace. I owe it a lot.
I think that the day you've figured out the difference between women and men is the day that you're no longer attracted to women. It's the difference that is so fantastic and frustrating and angering and really sexy.
My mother's five foot two and, I'll be honest with you, she's the only person I'm scared of.
There are two things that Jack Bauer never does. Show mercy and go to the bathroom.
I've had some amazing people in my life. Look at my father. He came from a small fishing village of five hundred people and, at six foot four with giant ears and a kind of very odd expression, thought he could be a movie star. So go figure, you know?
[on the rigors of action roles] It's amazing that I'm still alive.
