Quotes
Elementary’ is a strong show; we watch it almost religiously in our house.
Michael Emerson
I was a magazine illustrator for many years before I became an actor, and I used to think, ‘Oh, God, all those wasted years!’ But now I think it’s just been one big enterprise of illustrating. I used to do it with colored pencils, and now I do it with this voice and this set of limbs.
Michael Emerson
I’ve played villains on stage – you know, the Iagos and so on – but I think of myself as a funny person. I mostly did comedies before I did TV work.
Michael Emerson
There are roles that are terrifying because they’re large or you may feel that they’re out of your line, but I’m never terrified once the actual work begins. Once you begin rehearsal, then it’s small building blocks. It’s solving little problems one at a time.

I’m the worst at a computer.
