There's always a crisis somewhere, and you get the satisfaction of solving the problem. And then, there's always the mystery of whether a program will work or not, and waiting for the reviews or seeing what the audience figures are.

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.

I depend a lot on my own judgment, for better or worse.

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

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.

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

I think the part I enjoy most is reading the scripts and screening films because I'm a bookworm and a movie buff.
