'Copper' is my first period piece. It's funny because I've been doing a lot of episodes of 'Elementary' with Johnny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu; they keep bringing me back on the show, and so I go from being an outstanding black doctor to being a kind of hood, ex-car thief who went through rehab in 'Elementary.'

There's real potency in metal. Metal fans love metal as if it's a nation they would fight for. It's not diluted by pop culture.

I've got a feeling that with the best coppers - and in fact the best people in any field of work - what sets them apart is a maverick quality. People who are not afraid to bend the rules in order to achieve the universally desired end.

Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.

Gold and silver are no doubt subject to fluctuations, from the discovery of new and more abundant mines; but such discoveries are rare, and their effects, though powerful, are limited to periods of comparatively short duration.

Quicksilver is used for many purposes; without it, neither silver nor brass can be properly gilt.

When a man comes to me and tries to convince me that he is not a thief, then I take care of my coppers.

We're teaming up with a major Hollywood studio, and we're making a movie called 'Copper.' It's set on Mars in the 24th century. By then we've got 27 billion people in the world, copper is the world's most valuable metal because everything runs on electricity, and there's no more burning of hydrocarbons.

Nothing hinders a thing from being natural so much as the straining ourselves to make it seem so.
