When you're watching television, you don't want to watch a show where everything just works out. You don't want to see a relationship that's just blossoming and everyone's happy and sunshine and roses all the time. That's also not true in life.

I look at life and I see some very happy relationships, but I also see the vast majority as not being that happy.

My wife says I'm much happier when I'm not a regular on a TV show.

I think that in order for anything to work on television, you have to have conflict. Nothing can be too happy or it's boring. People don't want to watch that - they want to watch things that are exciting and dangerous and sexy and have tension.

I always was irritated doing network television... You're in love, you make love. That happens.

If life is going well, I watch quality things like period dramas and 'The Blue Planet.' But other times, I'll trawl through anything Freeview has to offer. I do believe TV can ruin your mind, but it can also be a really good friend.

If you are strong enough as a couple, reality shows can be a good thing for the relationship.

It's a lot easier to find a friend on television than love.

To this day, nothing makes me happier than finding a TV show I really love.

I've never liked watching real-life couples play couples onscreen or onstage. It takes me out of the story.
