Well, I don't think characters change. I think they become more revealed. I don't think you really can change a character on a show.

It's the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom.

Every so often, it's time to make a change with a showrunner; you evaluate the creative and how the show is run, how the writing staff works.

The way I see it, the third series of 'Downton Abbey' is all about change and how each character adapts to those changes.

Every show is unique; some shows have the master plan and have everything figured out and that's just the way they do things. It's like high school. Some people write their papers the second they get their assignments, and some people write it the day after it's due.

Every set has their own personalities and their own quirks. It's funny comparing starring in a show to going in and doing recurring work - there's already a rhythm that's been established, and people know each other so well. It's like being a guest in someone else's home.

I think everybody goes through changes, and the same should be said for fictional characters, especially ones that you follow on television.

Teachers can change lives with just the right mix of chalk and challenges.

I think all writers are different. I've been with a few writers; they're all different.

Every show is unique, some shows have the master plan and have everything figured out and that's just the way they do things. It's like high school. Some people write their papers the second they get their assignments, and some people write it the day after it's due. I am the latter.
