I believe what makes great television is wanting to watch particular characters.

One of the benefits to television is that you're with these characters for years, you know them so well.

There's a lot of great stuff on TV.

One of the great things about doing series television is the guest actors that you can have come on and play around with.

One of those things that I like about TV is that if you get a group of people you like, you can work with these people for months at a time, and you can discover their strengths and weaknesses, and you can use those in the direction where you take the characters.

A lot of good actors are turning to TV.

TV has gone back to basics, relating to middle class family with real characters, less make-up and simple shots. I feel as an actor it is a delight to work in such shows.

The best shows are always the ones that are very, very low-concept and just about great characters.

Any great character is the combination of a brilliant actor and the right writing.

A great thing is happening on cable TV. You see characters change in stories over years, like in Tolstoy. That's a whole, thrilling new form that I really enjoy. They are Tolstoy-an in their endless character development and narrative changes... a show like 'Breaking Bad' is astonishing.
