Personal Quotes
I think Dexter is a man who, a part of himself is very much frozen, or
arrested
in a place that is pre-memory, pre-conscious, pre-verbal. Something
very traumatic happened to him, he doesn't know what that is. And I
think on some level he wants to know. He denies his humanity, he
describes himself as someone who is without feeling, and yet I think
that he maybe suspects - in a way that maybe isn't even conscious yet
when we first meet him - that he is in fact a human being.
