Glenn Quinn on Doyle:

"He's a gambler, hustler, lunatic. He blends in in Los Angeles. Angel moves to L.A. and hooks up with me, and I'm kind of his spiritual, mentor guide. I'm half demon, half human, so I do that morph thing--but only when I get really mad. I'm definitely a good guy, though. I kind of lead Angel through trial and error. I'm his spiritual guide, but I'm the last person on earth who wants to be in this position. I think I'm atoning for my own thing--which we don't really know about. I gets visions, and in turn, I talk to Angel about them--maybe I see a name or a face, and we go on that mission for the week."
 

Doyle Quotes:

Doyle: A good fight, yeah? You never know until you've been tested. I get that now.

Doyle: Too bad we'll never know . . . if this is a face you could learn to love.

Doyle: Is that it? Am I done?
    ~From "Hero"

Doyle: The Powers That Be don't live in our reality. You have to approach them through channels. Dangerous channels.
Angel: Start approaching.
Doyle: All right, all right. Maybe we could try the Oracles. But if they turn you into a toad, don't say I didn't warn you.
    ~From "I Will Remember You"

Harriet: It was a nightmare. Okay, maybe not at first. Initially, I really liked the way he took charge.
Cordy: Doyle?! Took charge.
Harriet: It was sweet. But after a while, I mean, I know how to cut my own meat, thanks. Sometimes it felt like I was one of his students.
Cordy: That's funny, for a moment I thought you said one of Doyle's students?
Harriet: It wasn't fun being treated like a third grader, believe me.
Cordy: Grade third taught - Doyle taught third grade? The kind with children?
Harriet: Yeah.
Cordy: Are you sure he wasn't just held back and used that as his cover story?
    ~From "The Bachelor Party" (Harriet is Doyle's ex-wife)

Kate: Some one's got a crush.
Doyle: What?
Kate: It's right there, how he feels about you. And you don't know what to do about it.
Cordy: Please! We just joke around.
Kate: Where is the truth? Where is the truth? He is hiding behind Mr. Humor. I mean, look at - look at Doyle.. really look at him, what do you see?
Cordy: A bad double-poly blend?
Kate: That's defense, Cordelia. Maybe you should open your heart to a new possibility!
Doyle: Hey, you know, she's starting to make some sen--
Cordy: Angel!
    ~From "Sense and Sensitivity"

Angel: But - sooner or later I'm going to need to hear it.
Doyle: Hear what?
Angel: The story of your life.
Doyle: And quite a tale it is, too. Full of ribald adventures and beautiful damsels with loose morals...
Angel: Doyle.
Doyle: I will. - Just - give me time. The past, she don't let go, does she?
Angel: Hmm, she never does.
    ~From "Room With a View"

Doyle: Angel needs to start charging. He just hates bringing up the financees with the clients. He like playing the hero, - walking off into the dark with his long coat flowing behind him in a mysterious and attractive way.
Cordy: Is this a private moment? Because I can leave you alone.
Doyle: No, no, I'm not saying I'm attracted. I'm just saying he's projecting a certain kind of image and asking for money isn't part of it.
    ~From "I Fall to Pieces"

Doyle: Just think of it, man: pool-side tanning, bargain matinees, plus there are several strip clubs I know of that have a fabulous luncheon buffet that's really quite tasty..... I've heard.
    ~From "In the Dark"

Doyle: You know, maybe we should go over this thing again of you getting out in the world and involving yourself with people. It's Friday night! It's the most social night of the week! I mean a couple of lookers like us should be out there enjoying the night life, instead you're sitting here moping around in the dark like some kind of a . . .
Angel: Vampire?
Doyle: Well, yeah, I was gonna say slacker, but yeah, to you Mr. Obvious. - You got to come out, man!
    ~From "Lonely Hearts"

Doyle: It's not all about fighting and gadgets and such. It's about reaching out to people. Showing them that there's love and hope still left in this world.
Homeless Woman: Got any spare change?
Doyle: Get a job you lazy sow. It's about letting them into your heart. It's not about saving lives; it's about saving souls. Hey, possibly your own in the process.
