I got out of school in 2000, and I always wanted to be on 'This American Life,' since I first started telling stories. And that, I mean, that show is a little bit of a fortress. It's really hard to get stuff on that show.

American shows can go on for 20 years. I respond more to the British format. Three seasons is a long run for them to tell a story.

I don't watch much British television at all. I mean, it's ironic because I used to work in it for years.

There's definitely a wave of Brits doing great work on American television, and I wouldn't mind being one of them!

We've had American TV shows in Britain for years and that hasn't affected our culture at all.

For a little while there, I was thinking, 'I don't want to be in anything on British TV'. I didn't watch any of it because it was rubbish.

Most of the TV shows I've done have all been in the U.S.

I'm a huge, huge fan of almost everything British. I love 'The Office' - I was a faithful follower of that show before the American version.

I was dreading all of the ghost stories of working on American television, not in the least, the length. In Britain, a series is six episodes of an hour drama, maybe sometimes eight, but never twenty-two, so I was petrified of that.
