Sometimes in TV, it can get really stale, especially if you're doing these 23-episode years. It's a lot of work, and to put your family through that, on a location, is not always the greatest thing in the world.

I'm just looking always for characters that change, because I want to get better, as an actor and as a person.

I would bend over backward to be back on Grey's. Any day, I'll choose lying in bed with Katherine Heigl looking over me over getting thrown against walls by supernatural persons at 5 in the morning.

As a matter of fact - it'll probably ruin my movie career - but I think better storytellers are in television.

I just didn't want to get bored playing a character, and that's kind of the benefit of doing films; you've lived with a character for four or five months and that's it, and you walk away from that character and you feel like you told a story.

More and more of our finest actors are finding room for themselves in the world of television - but I truly believe it's because some of the best stories are being told there.
