- Burak Deniz attended acting workshops while he was still in high school, and was discovered by the casting director Gökçe Doruk Erten who helped him start his career.
- [on his first encounter with acting] I attended an acting workshop in Izmit. My current manager, Gökçe Doruk Erten, was also looking for actors from nearby cities on behalf of a motion picture for which he was the cast director, and we met on that occasion. That movie didn't happen, but that's how my journey started.
- [on what marriage means to him] Marriage is considered a sacred institution, but for me it is something that seems distant at the moment. There's still a lot of work to do. Both for myself and for the world. I love kids so much. However, making this world a better place should be the priority goal for everyone...
- [on what is it that impresses him the most about the opposite sex] I would like to give a cliché answer to this cliché question and say "intelligence". But as you can appreciate, when I first look, I cannot see the person's intelligence. You know, if you say "the sparkle of intelligence in your eyes"; Yes, that detail can help me look at the whole person with a more receptive eye.
- [on how did being famous change his life, positively or negatively] Of course, there are positive aspects such as the freedom to portray many other personalities in the same life and the ability to appeal to large audiences, but if you ask the negative, you cannot take a long beach walk full of thoughts in your head. Or you cannot spend as much time as you wish with your loved ones.
- [on if it is more satisfying for him to act in a long-running TV series or to take part in a movie] I accept work that pleases me. Therefore, it does not matter if it is a theatre, cinema, short film, TV series or documentary.
