What's difficult with doing 'The Producers' is your appetite is enormous. You want money; you want boards; you have huge desires. You've got to want more than anything for two and a half hours. Everything is heightened.

Making a show is such a long process. You go through a TV production house that will commission scripts, and if they like what you've written, they take it to a network and sell it to them. It has always felt very far away from something that's actually real.

Directors, like actors, get typecast. And because I've had great success with comedy and horror and TV shows, that's basically what I'm kind of offered.

I want to be doing something where I'm running my own show.

Nowadays, there are sometimes more producers than there are people in the cast, because it takes that much money to put a show on.

I want to be on a show that's as good as the one we're doing and that we get to make for many years.

I have a couple screenplays that are done, and I'm looking for the right people to help me make them. I do a lot of television writing to develop new ideas for shows.

You basically do have a TV show when you're making stuff online. You have an audience that you make stuff for regularly.

As an actress, you're already disregarded for a lot of the parts by the people who are setting up those shows. You don't need your agent to be doing the same.

On a practical level I'm a TV producer and storyteller who's gone about as long as you can go without achieving a mass audience.
