You're lucky enough in television to always be at it, to always be doing it. It's like you're constantly that person, always, all the time. It gets to be like clockwork.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes the intensity and the grind of doing television can wear you down, but at the same time there's something about the repetition, the sheer mass of work that you do that's also liberating.
I think I really see myself doing TV more than ever.
I have a hard time watching myself! Usually I do the work, and then I leave it. So I pretend like I'm not on TV every week.
With TV, you're in people's houses every night. And you have so much time to tell stories. I don't know why I didn't do it before.
The whole thing about doing TV is that you never know what's going to happen. You just have to go with it and go with the flow.
It's sort of the mixed blessing of being on television for so long in one thing; sometimes that backfires, in that you're not able to continue on.
That's why I love doing television because it's something that fans and viewers can sit down each week and get to know your character and get to know the show and get to know what's going on and fall in love with you all over again, like they did in previous shows.
Television is fast and loose. You have two or three takes to get your part right, and if you have a problem, well, by the time you figure it out, everyone's moved on to the next scene. It's good training, keeps you on your toes.
The funny thing about television is that once you start to do it you never get time to watch it.
The thing you must really do in television is bring yourself to everything you do - you can't try to be anybody else.
