Quotes 

• Alexis Castle : Dad, how old were you when you knew?

  Richard Castle : Knew what?

  Alexis Castle : That you wanted to be a writer.

  Richard Castle : Since I was a kid, I guess. Why?

  Alexis Castle : I'm finishing my junior year, and I have no idea what I want to do. By the time you were my age, you'd already published your first book and now you're winning this amazing award because you followed your passion. How can I be amazing... if I can't find mine?

  Richard Castle : Trust me... you will. Or... Or it'll find you. And one day you will look back and you will realize that... every experience you ever had, every... seeming mistake or blind alley, was actually a straight line to who you were meant to be. And whatever you become, there is no question in my mind, you are going to be amazing. And you know how I know?

  Alexis Castle : How?

  Richard Castle : 'Cause you already are.

  [Castle puts a huge portrait of him on the counter] 

  Richard Castle : Boom! Hello. I'm serious and brooding Richard Castle.

  [he puts a different huge portrait of himself on the counter] 

  Richard Castle : And I am friendly, accessible, ruggedly handsome Richard Castle.

  Alexis Castle : Wow, Dad. Could your head get any bigger?

  Richard Castle : Can you blame me? I'm accepting the Poe's Pen Career Achievement Award. It is the biggest honor a mystery writer can get. I am joining the pantheon of *greats* to whose heights I have always aspired. So... which big head?

  Kate Beckett : Uh, I like the ruggedly handsome, smiling giant you.

  Alexis Castle : Hmm, I like the serious, brooding giant you.

  Richard Castle : Oh... All right, Mother, you are the tie-breaker. Which of these should be hanging behind me at the ceremony next week?

  Martha Rodgers : Oh. Darling, you know I refuse to play favorites. I love both of my son's big heads equally.
