I don't ever want to get boxed in, playing the same characters, over and over again. That's why I prefer features over television.
The whole thing about doing TV is that you never know what's going to happen. You just have to go with it and go with the flow.
The best thing about series TV is that everyone you work with is hand-picked, as compared to working on a film.
TV is a major force in our lives - a FORCE. It must be handled very carefully, both its censure and its artistic honesty.
Television is so dictated by time constraints that you have to make quick decisions and go with them.
I don't doll myself up for TV because I want people to accept me for who I am.
I wouldn't want to play a character that knew everything and knew where to go. It is much more interesting playing a character that is vulnerable trying to be strong. It makes for better TV.
TV is just such a fast-moving medium that you do what you can do, and what you can't do, you don't worry about too much.
Television has to reflect back to you your own sense of security. It also has to mirror your sense of your own decency and your own limitations.
The ability of a television series to make adjustments is something you've got to take advantage of.
