I spent the first part of my career trying to avoid genre because I felt like genre, in some way, was cliche.

I got into television, and I'm a television guy, so I've never really had a movie career.

I didn't have time for talent shows and stuff like that. I was into books and studying real hard.

I didn't start making music in order to be famous.

I have no problem with television as a genre.

I didn't really have any aspirations to do TV when I first decided to be an actor.

In the late '70s, maybe just before I started, there was still an attitude that if you did film you didn't do TV and vice versa, but that's gone now.

I don't write to a genre.

I never had any interest in sitcoms or motion pictures or anything like that.
