I think that in order for anything to work on television, you have to have conflict. Nothing can be too happy or it's boring. People don't want to watch that - they want to watch things that are exciting and dangerous and sexy and have tension.

Happy relationships are boring. We all want them in our own life. But I don't want to watch them on TV.

It's important to me that I look good on television because, let's face it, I'm single, and you want somebody to watch the show and fall in love with you.

That's why I love doing television because it's something that fans and viewers can sit down each week and get to know your character and get to know the show and get to know what's going on and fall in love with you all over again, like they did in previous shows.

The whole thing about doing TV is that you never know what's going to happen. You just have to go with it and go with the flow.

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.

I always was irritated doing network television... You're in love, you make love. That happens.

I don't know what reality television does, but it breaks up relationships.

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.

The secret of doing well on TV is to understand that it's not too important. A lot of people watching doesn't change anything.
