I do love television. But the business is accelerating and people are not getting the chance to fail.

There's tons of creative people in television that have one failure after another, and they just step up higher. I could never get over that. When I had a failure, there was no such thing as just getting over it.

While television is a good servant, it's a bad master. It can swallow up huge quantities of our lives without much happiness bang for the buck.

Television can be a very fickle place.

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.

Television is more of a business. You can't take as many risks, because there's so many channels now, and the advertising's dropping.

Television offers a range and scope, and a degree of creativity and daring, that the bottom-line, global-audience-obsessed, brand-driven movie industry just can't compete with.

I think that the problem with network television is that they cling to the whole business model like they are clinging to the side of a cliff.

Television has done a lot for me, and I can never stay away from it.

TV is a fickle business. I'm only good for the length of my contract.
