• No podía salirme con la mía en las bromas de Halloween porque mis padres eran los dueños de la tienda de alimentos naturales. Así que era muy fácil pillarme. Era el único niño de la cuadra que ponía huevos marrones en las casas. No hacía falta ser detective para darse cuenta. "Oh, me pregunto quién hizo Tofutti en mi buzón. ¿Es el mismo genio malvado que llenó mi bañera de pájaros con Sueño de Arroz?

• If anybody asks me what I attribute the longevity of my career to, then I say it's because I was never satisfied with being a cowboy in the plains of Spain and later I was never satisfied with just playing a detective in San Francisco, and constantly just pushing the envelope.

• Incluí recibos, faxes, recortes de periódico, todo tipo de cosas. He leído novelas compuestas íntegramente de correos electrónicos o cartas, pero no reunidas con este tipo de mezcla de materiales. Quería crear la sensación de un detective revisando una caja de pistas.

• The detective novel is the art-for-art's-sake of our yawning Philistinism, the classic example of a specialized form of art removed from contact with the life it pretends to build on.

• I was at the beginning stages of my pregnancy, and it never really feels real anyway, until you actually start showing and you start to feel the baby kick. Fortunately I didn't have any morning sickness or anything like that. And I really didn't want to be distracted from the work at hand, so I didn't tell anybody. It was really just towards the end of shooting where I was about five months, where I needed to tell a costume designer[ of the True Detective].

• Siempre me he sentido un poco incómodo con la pregunta [por qué escribo estas historias]. No es una pregunta que se le haría a un tipo que escribe historias de detectives o de misterio, o westerns, o lo que sea. Pero sí se le hace al escritor de historias de terror porque parece que hay algo desagradable en nuestro amor por las historias de terror, o los boogies, los fantasmas y los duendes, los demonios y los diablos.

• It was very fortuitous that the show [True Detective] actually spans seventeen years - so as I was getting older on the show, I was gaining weight. When I'm playing fifty, I'm ten pounds heavier! I don't know if they thought maybe I was method? But it actually worked to my benefit.

• It was the first time I worked with Matthew McConaughey [in the True Detective].They're fun guys [with Woody Harrelson]. They don't take life at all too seriously, but yet they take their work very seriously. And both of them are just so committed to character and the story.

• [True Detective] is an intense show, even in terms of the dialogue - there's a little rhythm to it, in particular in his monologues. I think on those days, he [Woody Harrelson] really had to stay in the zone. Because there's a certain cadence in which that character speaks and talks about life, you know? But then there are other days that he was able to be a little more loose.

• My father taught me to love detective fiction writers such as Raymond Chandler. When I decided to have a hard-boiled detective series I did a lot of studying before I wrote the first book. I learned police procedure, the California criminal law, and many areas outside my expertise.

• I found out that detectives are really good dressers. I'm not even exaggerating. The woman I interviewed had these fantastic fuschia suede heels on that I coveted. And that they're invested in their jobs the same way you and I might be. We think of them as doing these jobs that we could never imagine doing, but their relationship to what they do is the same as our relationship to what we do.

• Supongo que no soy el detective más viejo de la cuadra - David Jason lo es. ¡¿Cuándo se va a retirar y nos va a dar una oportunidad a los demás?! No, su "Toque de Escarcha" es genial y un antídoto maravilloso para los programas de detectives con cara de tonto. De todos modos, no puedo retirarme. Tengo una esposa y cinco gallinas que alimentar.

• He tenido mucha suerte con lo que ha sucedido en mi carrera hasta la fecha, pero interpretar algo tan alejado de mí como sea posible es una de mis ambiciones: cualquier cosa, desde un malo mutante en un thriller de acción de cómic hasta un detective. Si acaso, me gustaría la carrera de Gary Oldman: es el ejemplo perfecto. Me encantaría tener un amplio abanico de personajes, poder hacer algo atrevido, sorprendente y fuera de moda.
