For a long time I did not want to do television because I did not want to get stuck playing the same person. I wanted the ongoing challenge of a variety of roles.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I didn't really have any aspirations to do TV when I first decided to be an actor.
One of the reasons I didn't really want to do TV earlier in my career was because it is so life-consuming, and I wanted to spend time with my kids and be a mother.
I wanted to be involved in TV and film in some capacity, so a compromise, because acting seemed unrealistic, and so risky, was to get into the production side. And it was a really fortunate, smart move looking back on it, because it gave me perspective on another side of the business.
I knew that I wanted to be a film actress and I never watched TV. I was always too busy.
I wanted to be a stage actor but I got stuck on television. It took a couple of years to get used to.
I'd rather do a lot of movies than a TV series and do a lot of different roles than be stuck in one TV thing.
I didn't want to do it... I'd been trying to get out of TV for years!
I was very vocal about what I wanted to do at a very young age. I wanted to be inside of the television set. I didn't know being on TV was being an actor.
There are so many roles on TV that I don't covet. I see them, and I'm glad I don't have to play them.
I never wanted to do TV. I just did what I was trained to do through the Special Forces, and I've been doing that from a very young age.
