I'm very humble in terms of knowing that television is an extraordinary collaborative medium and that one person alone cannot make a great TV show.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are only a handful of really good TV programmes, and I'm blessed to be in one of them.
The best thing about series TV is that everyone you work with is hand-picked, as compared to working on a film.
I think you can make perfectly good television just from people who are genuinely interested, talking to people who genuinely know - simple as it sounds, it can be riveting.
I think if you're too concerned with being cool or hip or liked, you can't really make good TV because sincerity and coolness are opposites.
We're a diverse society, and I think the TV is doing a great job in showing that we're all human beings, that we can all get along, that we can all be together, and I think that's a marvelous thing.
What TV is extremely good at - and realize that this is 'all it does' - is discerning what large numbers of people think they want, and supplying it.
The thing you must really do in television is bring yourself to everything you do - you can't try to be anybody else.
While television is a good servant, it's a bad master. It can swallow up huge quantities of our lives without much happiness bang for the buck.
I wasn't able to relate to anyone on TV growing up, so I wanted to bring my own experiences to the screen.
Television is intensely personal.
