It's great to be able to do shows like 'Falling in Love with the Girl Next Door,' which I think is entirely too long of a title.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
'The Woman on the Train' just didn't sound as good. I'll take care next time not to have 'girl' in the title.
All writers know how important a good title is. It's the first thing readers see, along with a knock-your-socks-off cover - a seductive 'come hither' for the story within.
I think movies are too long.
I think every great show has that kind of romance that people just kind of yearn for.
Titles either come to you at the beginning or they don't come to you at all, I find, and I hate the feeling that I haven't got a title because it usually means that you are left at the end scrambling around trying to find something.
The one guiding principle over my 23-year career in TV has been as long as I'm having fun, I really don't care what the job title is.
All love stories rest on the leads, and if they work, the show works, and if they don't, the show won't work, no matter how good the writing is.
So far, I'm known for doing more commercial and glamorous roles. But I don't mind doing a short film.
With 'Girls,' it doesn't really feel like I'm doing TV specifically. It just feels like we're making a really long film.
I'm not worried about a title. It's just go and have fun.
