I would rather do twenty TV series than go through what I went through under that Rank contract I signed a few years ago for which I blame no one but myself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'd been offered TV series over the years and never had any interest in doing television. I'm not a TV guy.
TV is a fickle business. I'm only good for the length of my contract.
Series television is either a nightmare or the best thing in the whole world. It really depends on, I think, where you are in your life.
There's a huge demand for my entertainment, and I can't meet the need. So I decided to try a TV show to reach as many of my fans as possible.
The financing of all TV shows is dictated by finding an audience between 18 and 49. I have now passed beyond 49, so probably, I am no longer a desirable commodity for TV. And I am at peace with that; that's fine.
The only thing that I'm not willing to do is really stupid, horribly written sitcoms. It can be tempting during pilot season time, but I realized this a while ago when I almost signed my life away to a stupid pilot.
If I was roped into a seven-year TV contract I'd probably hang myself.
The greatest preparation for a TV show is to already have one season behind you.
The best part of being on a television series for all those years is that you really get to hone your craft.
I'd rather do a lot of movies than a TV series and do a lot of different roles than be stuck in one TV thing.
