It really is better to be lucky than to be good.

It was a tremendous stroke of good luck that the show got Michael C. Hall to play the part. Everyone I've talked to thinks Michael is a perfect 'Dexter,' which never happens.

'Dexter' has been very, very good to me. I would rather stop doing it than cheapen it.

I'd rather be lucky than good.

Sometimes in this game it's as good to be lucky as it is to be good.

I find others, those who prey on the innocent and do not play by the rules, and I make them go away in small, carefully wrapped pieces.
