One can never take the cynicism one comes across in life too seriously.

The audience has spoken. They want stories. They’re dying for them. They’re rooting for us to give the right thing. And they will talk about it, binge on it, carry it with them on the bus and to the hairdresser, force it on their friends, tweet, blog, Facebook, make fan pages, silly GIFs, and god knows what else about it..

I find it sad that by not talking about who I sleep with, that makes me mysterious. There was a time when I would have been called a gentleman.

While data can only tell you what has happened in the past, it can in some ways give you a sense of what might be of interest to an audience in the future.

It is not about whether you are an executive, a studio or a network. If you have a story or an idea you can build a following for it.

The journey that we go on as actors is an interesting one and sometimes a revealing one.

In recent years we've seen an explosion of creative programming, and I think it represents a third golden age of television because the creators have more control over the story. The audience doesn't care about the platform. They care about the content.
