Obviously the way people watch TV has changed so much, too, that it's not necessarily about the ratings anymore. There's a different kind of time lapse; you put it out there and people absorb it at their speed, not just on Monday night at eight.

It is important to be involved in everything.

It's weird, not to sound too actor but I think that any time you do a performance, you kind of take a little piece of that character, cause it's a part of you you're using.

You get a kind of familiarity on a set when you're on a TV show.

I don't think it's good to say that you won't do certain things, but I don't necessarily have the natural urge to write.

I want to do film and TV. I want to make good stories. I want to write; I want to be more involved.

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.
