Back in Edmonton, Alberta - I can't give those people enough credit - and the daytime drama I did. Incredible training, both of them.","author":"Nathan Fillion","tags":["training","amazing","theatre "],"id":19059,"author_id":"Nathan+Fillion"},{"text":"I've always fantasized about being on TV. And I was. Then I fantasized about being in the movies. What could be better than captain of a space ship?

So to be comic-ized, yeah, that's cool.","author":"Nathan Fillion","tags":["day","passion","cool "],"id":106886,"author_id":"Nathan+Fillion"},{"text":"I'll tell you what I really enjoy. We all go to the movies, we all watch television, we know what they're about, how they work.

I was going to be a high school teacher, like my parents. I failed - no, I didn't fail a class, I just barely passed. I really didn't try. It was Canadian history, through the plays of the time.

If you have the money to do it on your own, by yourself, and you have a TV network, you can do it by yourself. But the nature of the beast is, art needs finance. That's how this industry works. So until the Internet becomes our source of entertainment - and watch it, I believe it will - this is how things go.","author":"Nathan Fillion","tags":["nature","art","money "],"id":342517,"author_id":"Nathan+Fillion"},{"text":"When I was very young, before I could read, I remember being very interested in comic books.","author":"Nathan Fillion","tags":["comic books","reading","young","youth"],"id":359318,"author_id":"Nathan+Fillion"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":13,"pages":2,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
