Quotes by Antony Starr

Oftentimes, you read these pilot scripts that come through for American work, and they don't sing to you. I've got to be honest, not many of them ignite the flame or give you that burning feeling of, 'Oh, God, I really want to be a part of this.'

I had a job when I was 15 working at a supermarket, and I knocked over a stack of plastic coffee cups. In my anger, I threw one at a concrete wall, and it rebounded back into my head and cut my head open. Stupidest way to get a scar, but it's one that I have.

When you can’t fix all your problems with your fists and the problems aren’t solely physical, and you’ve got to deal with the emotional complexities of life and people, it’s a really interesting development.

A lot of people that get out of prison have anti-social personality disorder, which makes them promiscuous and erratic, and they can’t form ordinary relationships.

I don’t mind violence, but it’s quite an interesting thing for people to deal with. I don’t know many people that like fighting. I certainly don’t, myself. But it’s always interesting to work on a shows where there’s so much violence, as a part of the world.

Inevitably any series that goes on too long will reach a point where it starts struggling for ideas, so I've always been really aware of getting out while the going's good.

I keep myself to myself pretty much. I'm not someone who gallivants around town looking for attention.

'Banshee' is the story of a man who gets out of prison, tracks down his long-lost love, and tries to reclaim what was stolen from him years earlier by assuming the identity of a sheriff. I guess you could say it's an explosive action drama - sit down, strap in, and enjoy the ride!
