To be a working actor in England is a life. I think it's harder in this country. Either you are a superstar or a starving actor.

Anybody who pitches a story or an idea for a film to an executive, whatever the latest hit is, is what you're comparing it to.

My primary job is to choose the programs, either to co-produce them, or acquire them after they're finished. So, I read a lot of scripts, I meet with producers and I read a lot of books.

I love mysteries on television – the more psychologically complex the better.

I've discovered that people don't actually want to have things spoiled, and they really try to avoid spoilers.

If you spend any time on the shooting of a drama, for television or movies, it's very slow and there's a lot of standing around.

Sometimes, the actors are thrilled to have visitors because they're just waiting most of the day. It's the directors that are a little busy.
