Others may prefer mindless entertainment, but on Sunday nights, you'll find me parked right in front of my television, munching popcorn and improving my intellect by watching 'Masterpiece Classic.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every so often, you have to do a show that makes you walk to your car with your head down, wondering what you're doing with your life. It's good for you, as long as you're not feeling that way every night.
I love watching great TV, whether it's to educate myself more on my craft or to just simply be entertained.
I respect the fact that people have worked hard all week and want to go to the movies on the weekend and be entertained.
I've worked in television long enough to know that when you stop enjoying that type of thing you go home and do something else.
There's a great appetite for smart television. Every day I get up and there are interesting stories I want to do.
Believe it or not, I don't own a TV. Crazy huh? I'm not a big movie-goer either. I just feel like I'm watching work. I am always outside and couldn't care less about what's on TV these days.
I'm lively when I perform and I always put everything into a show, but when I get home I love lying down in front of the TV and relaxing.
Sunday is like this entertainment scrum for me, because I've only got a day, one day of fun. So I want to have brunch, and I want to see a movie, and I want to watch 'Game of Thrones,' and I'm trying to watch 'The Sopranos' from the beginning, and I want to play four hours of video games. So, it's, like, as regimented as my work life.
I do some things just to entertain myself, and I figure that part of the audience will be entertained as well.
I understand what's it like to work all week and on Friday night just want to go and leave your brain at the door, buy some popcorn and be thrilled by something.
