Quotes[]
- "They started writing for me and I knew it was penciled in where it was possibly going and I’m having so much fun now that they’ve unmasked Garrett and his true nature has come out. I’ve got three more episodes and they’re pretty cool. There’s a great episode that really deals with Ward, how he ended up almost like my surrogate son and also a little bit about where I came from, why I tick the way I do. Then of course we’re all coming in for the season finale."
- "I would like to think so [to appear in future Marvel movies]. I would love to think so. I really enjoyed working with Jed Whedon and his wife Maurissa who’s the creators, and Jeff Bell the show runner, and Jeph Loeb. It’s been a great group of guys."
