The funny thing about television is that once you start to do it you never get time to watch it.

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.

It just seems there's better things to do in your life than be on television if it's not interesting, if it's not challenging, if it's not fun. You know? When it stops being those things for me, I'll stop making television.

If there's anything about longevity in television, it's about knowing what to take and what to turn down, and what to stop.

Television has done a lot for me, and I can never stay away from it.

Sometimes the intensity and the grind of doing television can wear you down, but at the same time there's something about the repetition, the sheer mass of work that you do that's also liberating.

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.

Television is a device that permits people who haven't anything to do to watch people who can't do anything.

People's attitude seems to be that if you don't have a television, you're not connected to reality - somehow you're not in reality. It's quite interesting, because I suspect that possibly it's the reverse.

I always was irritated doing network television... You're in love, you make love. That happens.
