When you're on a series, it's tough to go on and do something else afterward. If you're smart, save your money and you can wait out the bad times, until something else comes along.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I miss doing a series, but I don't want to do a series for a series' sake.
Inevitably any series that goes on too long will reach a point where it starts struggling for ideas, so I've always been really aware of getting out while the going's good.
But I want to do good work, after this series.
When a series is doing well, it's very tempting to keep writing it, even when the creative well is drying up. It's tempting because that's where the money is. I've had to be very careful; as soon as I think I'm getting close to that dry well, I wrap the series up. I don't want to just keep writing something because it sells.
My main worry is that after a certain point you become so identified with a character and a series that you might not be able to get work when your show goes off the air.
The thing about reading is that if you are hooked, you're not going to stop just because one series is over; you're going to go and find something else.
I'm not ready for another series. I have fun doing other kinds of things.
I can understand the natural anxiety of readers when waiting for another installment of a favourite series, but I think it is much more important to get a book right than it is to have it appear on time.
When you start working on a series, it's almost too much work. It's like a movie a week.
I don't watch the beginnings of many series; I don't know why - maybe because I'm normally working.
