Billy Campbell

That is the only show he ever wanted to be in. That is the only show he would do for free. Billy Campbell, literally, saying, 'Give me an arc, any kind of arc, in Battlestar Galactica, please.' And it was very hard to get away from[1][2].
Harlan Ellison
- At the Screenwriting Expo 5 Harlan Ellison gave Ronald D. Moore the Television Writer of the Year, saying "You were given swine and you made pearls out of them.

Quentin Tarantino
- According to Grace Park who hosted the Asian Excellence Awards with Daniel Dae Kim, "in the after-party, he wouldn't stop gabbing about it. I felt like I had to baby-sit him, he was so excited.
