When I was a kid there were a very select few channels - programmes had to have more of a large appeal and they just didn't offer very much. Now you have a situation where the television world has expanded and there's hundreds of channels.

I don't have spare time.

Being a day player, period, is one of the hardest things you can do as an actor.

When you're directing an ongoing series, the tone has already been set. So a director will come in and fulfill that tone - reinforce the characters and their behavior. The challenge is to find unique ways that you can visually tell the story while keeping the established tone and the pace and the characters.

Take a chance. Take a risk. Find that passion and rekindle it. Fall in love all over again. It`s really worth it.

What used to frustrate me going into an audition was that some inexperienced, lesser casting people would think that actors are acting only when they're speaking.

I didn't feel entitled to become a star. I didn't expect it.
