I often say television is not a job for grown men. You go to a set, they pick out your clothes for you, they tell you where to stand, what to say, and your chair has your name on it in case you can't find a place to sit.

I think we invite people into our living rooms every week through the television because we have emotional connections to them, or they make us laugh or reflect some part of ourselves that we want to live in.

The neatest thing about television is that they write for you... They find out what you can do, what you do best, how it works, and how they can use you.

Some people will humiliate themselves or their families just to be on television.

You have to transmit to them what it's like being in the theater. And it has to come from somewhere inside you and not by being like what somebody did last year.

I actually haven't been approached a whole lot for television, believe it or not.

As I got older, I never considered that tons of people were watching me on television every week. I give a nod to my parents for keeping me as normal as I could be in an un-normal adult world.

With anything, and especially with the pallet of viewers in watching anything on TV and film, you have to entertain them.

I think, with TV, you create kind of a family to work with.

On my first TV job I didn't have a clue. They'd tell me to hit my mark and I had no idea what they meant. You just pick it up. And ultimately, all it's really about is pretending to be someone else.
