Directing television is really hard - it's so fast. You shoot an hour show in seven days.

TV directing is fine because you can come in and do a TV show in a relatively short period of time, and that can pay the bills.

I've been really lucky to work with some really great film people in the past, but television works on a much quicker schedule, and it's the TV directors I've worked with that I looked to and became a big fan of.

The directors you want to work with are in the television world.

I've done a lot of TV, but not film.

I've done a little directing, but I love acting more.

I started making movies in 1977, and I didn't even think about the idea that I would ever be on a television show. Once I finished the 'Guiding Light,' I was like, 'I'm done with television!'

I do love directing. It's probably my favorite thing that I do.

If you're directing, it doesn't really matter any more if it's going straight to TV - what matters is whether you have the resources to make a story that moves you.

There's certainly more work for me in TV these days.
