“I love doing 'Castle.' We pump out 24 episodes in 10 months, and we work long hours. We do lots and lots of takes, and everyone there is a talent machine. It is a taxing endeavour to say the least, but when you get into a groove, it doesn't matter if you're tired, it doesn't matter if you're sick. You can do it.” IfsLongMatterCan DoHoursTalentMonthsMachinesSickTiredEpisodesYou Can Do ItCastlesEndeavourPumpsGrooveLong Hours Author:Nathan Fillion
“You know, I endeavor to be more like my older brother. He's very magnetic. He's actually very much like 'Castle' in that people are attracted to him, and just want to be near him.

“Being in the industry, I've seen many situations where someone will get the call from the network where they say 'You guys have 5 episodes to wrap it up.' Then all your long-term story arcs gotta get wrapped up in five episodes because that's how many episodes you got left.

“I want my job to include a little adventure, a little more of a heightened reality than what I'm actually living. And 'Castle' has that.

“I'm constantly pitching one episode where we see life through Castle's eyes. I think Castle's just a little off as far as his perception goes.
