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

I'd been offered TV series over the years and never had any interest in doing television. I'm not a TV guy.

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.

TV is sort of the only way to go for an actress my age to make a decent salary; with independent films, you just can't.

I think in my job, it's quite difficult to find work on television... you don't necessarily want to get a profile for something that you don't fully believe in.

I'm ridiculously fortunate to get a chance to experience the sitcom world. The schedule is extremely easy, and you get fed as an artist because you're not only working on a project, but you get to work with cameras, and you get the audience there.

I knew that I wanted to be a film actress and I never watched TV. I was always too busy.

Television is a different challenge; it is not a stage. But each opportunity that I have to learn I learn, and I take the opportunity to work.

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.

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