Everyone I know thinks television is the most important part of my life. I did it for the money! I was able to send my daughter to college.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
TV was my life, growing up. I ran home from school to watch television, and even did my homework with the TV on - my mom had a rule that as long as my grades didn't fall, I was allowed to. So it was my dream to work in television.
I did not, like my children and people today, grow up with television as part of my life.
Television was a great place for me to kind of fall on my face and make mistakes and be okay with it and move on.
One of the reasons I didn't really want to do TV earlier in my career was because it is so life-consuming, and I wanted to spend time with my kids and be a mother.
I have to admit, I never watch television; once in a while I'll see things, but I grew up without it. I had a father who said, 'I hate television;' it came into being when he was a kid, and he didn't have it, so he didn't think I needed it.
People say I owe a lot to television. The fact is I was a star long before television. What TV made me is unemployed.
TV is the best. I wish that's how life was.
I've got to put my kids through school. And I like the security of working every day, which is what television is about.
At the end of the day, TV is my first love. I started off my career from the small screen.
I started my career with television, and whatever work I did was keeping the content as my topmost priority. Same goes with the movies: I never grabbed any work!
