It's nice to always have a job and not be floating out in the ether waiting for whatever the next big thing is. So, in that way I hope there's no a shelf-life for great shows. On the other hand, you don't want to be working on something that's reached its peak and become irrelevant.

Mary Elizabeth EllisI have the weirdest job. The hair and makeup people were talking the other day about how weird their job is.

And sober. During midday. For money."
