Quotes about Matthew:
Evangeline: He's [Fox] like a big brother. He took me under his wing. (Source: People Magazine)

Evangeline: We call him Foxy because he is
Evangeline: He's so handsome, so dashing and debonair.
Evangeline: He's matured beautifully.
(Source to those unknown)

Evangeline: Matthew is a fantastic actor. He's absolutely one of my teachers and mentors on set… I think that's one of the reasons why Matthew and I have such natural chemistry onscreen, is that I am genuinely very taken by him when he's acting. He is a very captivating actor and I think Kate is supposed to be captivated by Jack.

Evangeline: I also challenged Matthew Fox to a push-up contest. I said, 'If you're gonna be my hero on the show, prove you can be.'

Evangeline: My first day on the set was with Matthew Fox and Dominic Monaghan. We had an instant connection, the three of us, and became instant buddies. We had an amazing time filming the pilot together and are very close.
(Source: Lost, the Official Magazine)

Wentworth Miller: "I have a little fantasy where in the last episode of the season, we slip into the prison's sewer system, up through the grate, and pop out a hatch - and we're face to face with Matthew Fox and spend season 2 on a tropical beach."

Jimmy Kimmel: "Let me just say that I would be done with the show if they kill you [Foxy] off the show. That would be too much. Because there's a certain line that you don't go past and you, my friend are it for me."
(Source: Matt's Kimmel appearance May 11, 2007)

Damon Lindelof: “He’s a jock and a hard-core tattooed dude, and he’s sensitive, and he’s a dad and the guy you want to get *******-housed with. It’s all the same guy. You can have man-love with Foxy, and it’s all good.”
(Source unknown)

Damon Lindelof: "His house has become a mecca for all the other actors. He opens the door for everyone to come over on Sundays to barbecue right on the beach."
(Source unknown)

Damon Lindelof: "Matthew has elevated crying to an art, where somehow it's a form of badassness. He never cries because he's sad. He cries because he wants to hit someone. I can't think of any other hero characters who have cried. If Patrick Dempsey cried on Grey's Anatomy, people would be like, 'Meredith, do not waste your time with that crybaby."
(Source: TIME Magazine, February 2007)

McG: "He understands stillness, which is a rare trait in an age of big performances."
(Source: TIME Magazine, February 2007)

Quotes From Matthew:
While Jack has taken on a leadership position, Fox has assumed a similar role.
"I felt that both on-screen and off," he says, "being No. 1 on the daily call sheet and having the most amount of work to do, there's a responsibility that goes along with it. We had a lot of production issues to iron out this year, so we were running into obstacles quite frequently, just getting a big beast of a show running as efficiently as we possibly can.
"Along with that comes a lot of frustration on people's parts at times. The cast, across the board, has been wonderful the whole year, but certainly there have been allegiances and things that have built up among the cast. It's almost my responsibility, in the position I'm in, to make a conscious decision to be there for anybody that has problems or wants to hang out."
(Source: Zap2it, May 2005)

"I enjoy taking my clothes off and jumping in the water," Fox says. "I'm not going to worry about getting changed into a swimsuit at 2 o'clock in the morning. I really wanted to get people together, get them partying. I wanted them to take their clothes off and jump in the water. I thought that would be a good bonding experience for all of us, which it was. It was great fuel for ribbing and incessant bulls**ting with each other."
(Source: Zap2it, May 2005)

"It's always something I've loved about the way Damon and J.J. were writing this character, that he's our hero, he's our guy, but he's also the kind of guy that, if he let himself go to the dark place, could do real serious snappage on a guy like Sawyer."
(Source unknown)

"I’ve never really done a complete nude scene. Looking forward to that, actually, considering that I like to get naked all the time. That should be pretty easy."
(Source: Extra! March 2007)

"I'm a liar and a cheat and a thief and the ultimate manipulator. You can never believe a f-ing word that comes out of my mouth. I tell lies everyday, man. And when I say I'm phenomenally manipulative, I am."
(Source: Men's Journal, February 2007)

"The John Wayne idea was what a man wanted to be--not what a man is. I'd rather watch a person be full of intense emotions and fighting [against] expressing them."
(Source: TIME Magazine, February 2007)

[Adie010]

Thanks for opening!

[Carlie06]

PHEW! Coming up with a title was a work out.

Thanks for opening, Ash!

[~Carla~]

Yay new thread! love the title!
He deserves his own board! we are so close this month!

[Adie010]

Matthew needs his own board! He deserve it! So does CoughAshley TisdaleCough

[Ash_lost]

It really was a workout. You're welcome girls!

Okay, so Lifehouse is amazing and this song is amazing for Jack...

'Simon'

Catch your breath
hit the wall
scream out loud as you start to crawl
back in Your cage
the only place
where they will leave you alone
'cause the weak will seek the weaker until they've broken them
could you get it back again
Would it be the same?
Fulfillment to their lack of strength at your expense
left you with no defense
they tore it down

and I have
Felt the same as you,
I've felt the same as you,
I've felt the same
Locked inside
the only place
where you feel sheltered
where you feel safe
You lost yourself
in your search to find
something else
to hide behind

The fearful always preyed upon your confidence
Did they see the consequence
when they pushed you around?
The arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones
Breaking them 'til they've become
just another crown

Refuse to feel, Anything at all
refuse to slip, Refuse to fall
can't be weak, Can't stand still
you watch your back,
'Cause no one will

you don't know why they had to go this far
traded your worth for these scars
for your only company
don't believe the lies that they told to you
Not one word was true
You're alright, You're alright,
You're alright

It's almost like this song is about Jack's life. Love it.

[~Carla~]

I can help Ashley if Foxy wins this month.

[Ash_lost]

[Adie010]

And once again, I am way behind and responding to comments from threads that went by too fast for me to keep up with.

Originally Posted by Ash_lost I think he made a huge step in that direction in the finale. That scene that we've talked about in here so many times when he goes off with Ben and is told he has to give Ben the phone or Sayid, Bernard, and Jin die. It almost killed him to make that decision but in the end he knew Sayid was right, he had to let the three of them go if it meant securing rescue for everyone else.

Good point. Jack had to choose between rescuing the majority or giving in to Ben’s demands and thus saving the three left behind. Such a horrific decision to have to make.

The look on his face when he heard the gunshots was a testament to just how much it hurt him to do that. It was so heart-breaking.

Jack just snapped there, the way he attacked Ben. Ben had killed three people Jack cared about (or at least, Jack thought so).

Thank goodness the three of them weren't really killed.

Yes, both for Jack’s sake, and for the three of them. I like all three, so was pretty upset myself when I thought they’d been killed.

Originally Posted by Carlie06 Captive Jack was great! I loved his response to Ben thinking he was agreeing to do the surgery, "I didn't say I was gonna do it. I just wanted to let you know how you're going to die."

Oh, that line was awesome. I mean, Ben’s playing all these mind games with his prisoners, and don’t get me wrong, Ben’s creepily good at it. But Jack was able to hold his own in quite a few scenes.

Originally Posted by Ash_lost (View Post) On the bonus DVD in S2 you know it has that connections thing? The narration is about how people are connected and 6 degrees of separation then Carlton says something like, "And it starts with one," and it's Jack. Who else?

Oh, that thing drove me crazy! I thought the concept was really cool, showing all the connections amongst the characters, but I just had the hardest time navigating it. I hated having to go backwards and relisten to the scenes I'd just watched before I could try following a cable to another connection (which, more times than not, was one that I'd already tried ).

But it was cool that Jack was the "one" that everything started with.

Originally Posted by Ash_lost (View Post) I loved when Jack called Tom back on the walkie. I was like, "Yeah, go Jack!"

Oh, I definitely would not want to get on Jack's bad side.
(Although it's sometimes fun to watch on the show....... )

[Vivianaley23]

thanks for the new thread Ash OWNAGE is right!! He freaking deserves it I want a Foxy board goddamit! this topic makes me violent.

Loooove those pics. Teh smirk

[Carlie06]

Great post, Ania! I always love reading your comments.

Dude! We're falling behind! Vote! Vote!

I mean, we are still in 2nd place but we need to be on our toes.

[Ash_lost]

Hey Anla! Oh man, I wouldn't want on Jack's bad side either. He could do some real damage if he finally just snapped.

Honestly, I would hate to be in Jack's position in that Ben walkie scene. I just felt so so horrible for him having to choose between friends. What would have been running through his mind is beyond me. What an awful spot to be in.


I second that Carlie! Everyone get to voting!
