Watching TV is companionable: you share an experience, you can comment on the action here and there for a bit of conversation... it's a way of showing someone that you want his or her company and engaging in a low-key, pleasant, undemanding way.

It just seems there's better things to do in your life than be on television if it's not interesting, if it's not challenging, if it's not fun. You know? When it stops being those things for me, I'll stop making television.

TV kind of worked out naturally for me. I was fortunate to do a show like 'Breaking Bad' and then go straight into something like 'Friday Night Lights.' It's not something I focus on, but when they're great projects, I can't pass them up.

I didn't see myself doing TV. It's time-consuming.

There's a great appetite for smart television. Every day I get up and there are interesting stories I want to do.

I always try to make sure that I stay connected to theater so I continue to be inspired. Not that I'm not inspired by television.

Doing TV is great, but TV is for starring on, not for watching.

I love watching great TV, whether it's to educate myself more on my craft or to just simply be entertained.

Television is fun, but it's hard, and if it gets too crazy I may just do it as a part-time thing.

Television is a different challenge; it is not a stage. But each opportunity that I have to learn I learn, and I take the opportunity to work.
