There are great characters on television.

Television is fantastic because you get to follow a group of characters over time, and their stories can enrich and surprise you. And you get to work with a group of people over time as well, which can be very satisfying with the right group.

I think it's really important to have good quality drama on TV.

Good television people have a sense of what television people relate to.

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 think sometimes actors are drawn to good television because you have more time to sell it, you have more time to shape a character, and to tell a story, and that's really appealing.

I watch a lot of TV, and I'd like to think what I watch is good TV.

The secret of doing well on TV is to understand that it's not too important. A lot of people watching doesn't change anything.

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.
