As actors, for the most part, there's that neuroses most of us possess where, in a day of watching, this character get killed off of this show, and that character get killed off of that show - one never knows.

I suppose, if helping a patient die is killing, I suppose I'm a killer.

Television audiences are ruthless - look what happened to 'The Killing.'

Murderers, in general, are people who are consistent, people who are obsessed with one idea and nothing else.

I haven't killed anyone on television in years and years. Must have been twenty something years.

I'm the one who often makes the 'Murder, She Wrote' reference, and ABC hates that, they don't want me to do that. And I say that having never actually watched 'Murder, She Wrote'. I think people have been trying to compare it to crime shows that are on right now, and all I can do is listen. I don't watch a lot of TV.

Seeing a murder on television can help work off one's antagonisms. And if you haven't any antagonisms, the commercials will give you some.

TV has a three storyline structure, but 'The Killing' takes on that structure with such ambition.

If I was a bad character that got away with murder like we see on other shows, I do not think I would like it because that sends a message that you can do these horrible things and never pay for it.

Very few of us playing a murderer will actually have killed someone.
