I've had some amazing people in my life. Look at my father - he came from a small fishing village of five hundred people and at six foot four with giant ears and a kind of very odd expression, thought he could be a movie star. So go figure, you know?

Kiefer Sutherland

I would love to do '24' until I was 60, but I don't think anybody would accept it.

Kiefer Sutherland

There are two things that Jack Bauer never does. Show mercy, and go to the bathroom.

Kiefer Sutherland

I loved '24', but I didn't think anyone else would. I had absolutely no idea.

Kiefer Sutherland

I like chatting with people. If people ask me a direct question, I give them a direct answer and I feel I've always done that with the press.

I've always traveled with a picture of my daughter from 1989, her kindergarten school picture, that has 'I love you, Daddy' written on it. She's always made fun of me because I never changed that picture out. It's like my resistance to her getting older. It was the first thing she'd ever written to me and it means the world to me.

Kiefer Sutherland

When I was younger, my whole sense of self-worth was based on whether or not I was working, which was awful. And I had a baby at 20 years old, so it wasn't just about me. At around the age of 30 there was a stretch where I wasn't working - certainly not on anything I liked, anyway - and I started to do other things.

Kiefer Sutherland

I'm a huge fan of Canadian rock-and-roll. When I was growing up, Rush came out with a record called Hemispheres, and I must have listened to that record for two years straight. Even when I was asleep I had it on. So, yeah, whenever I hear a Rush tune, the first thing I think of is Toronto.

Kiefer Sutherland

One of the big draws of the show is here's a guy who is ordinary in a lot of ways but, due to his profession, he's placed in extraordinary situations that he has to make right with action and with thought. That's what is appealing about Jack - he takes charge.

Kiefer Sutherland

Yes, I do believe that there is a cause and effect and a ripple effect upon everything everybody does, and they have positive consequences and negative consequences. If you start to focus on the kind of minutia of that, it's really quite extraordinary.

Kiefer Sutherland

There are a lot of movies I'd like to throw away. That's not to say that I went in with that attitude. Any film I ever started, I went in with all the hope and best intentions in the world, but some films just don't work.

Kiefer Sutherland

I do believe very strongly that all of us and all of the other things in the context of our planet with Mother Nature, all of these things absolutely have a profound effect.

Kiefer Sutherland

I did a play called Throne of Straw when I was 11, at the Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles. It became really clear to me at that point that I enjoyed acting more than any other experience I was having.

Kiefer Sutherland

My parents not only did it for a living, but they were really good at it.

Kiefer Sutherland

Youth is an amazing thing: I think back on when we did The Lost Boys, and I didn't think I could do anything wrong.

Kiefer Sutherland

There's a confidence that comes from youth and not knowing better. But there comes a point, as an actor, when you do know better, and that is when the fear starts.

Kiefer Sutherland

I couldn't see my father's films because they were restricted and we didn't have videos or DVDs back then.

Kiefer Sutherland

When I saw Virginia Woolf, somewhere between the first and second acts, someone I had known as my mother became somebody else.

Kiefer Sutherland

When I wasn't the flavor of the week or month or day, those were hard times.

Kiefer Sutherland

I didn't realize that television has gone through immense changes and has become very progressive.
