It's always difficult when you're on a show that goes for more than a year or a couple of years.

I've never been on a TV show for more than a season and you have to continually keep it interesting and you have to keep it connected, even as you change.

The idea of being on a show where each season stands alone, and you can come back the next year and show an entirely different aspect of your personality or your talent or your anything is an enormous gift that you rarely get in television.

Being on a television series is sort of life-altering on every level.

I think a long-term TV show is probably not for me, but doing a few years of something could be interesting.

It's interesting: I went 25 years without watching a single television show. I was one of those people, because I was so inside how a television show was made, if I would turn on somebody else's show, I would sit there and analyze it, like, 'Oh, so they had four hours in this location and had to get out and the number of set-ups, etc.'

It is strange when you're a loser in college, which I was, to then get your own show.

I think being on a TV show is amazing but also, people get kind of used to seeing you a certain way and so it becomes a challenge to break free from that in a way.

That's why I love doing television because it's something that fans and viewers can sit down each week and get to know your character and get to know the show and get to know what's going on and fall in love with you all over again, like they did in previous shows.

It's a lot of hard work to do a weekly TV show. It's certainly not fun.
