Theres just a big group of actors in London. There are new ones coming in all the time, who are looking for work, and established actors who are interested in working and like to work. To be a working actor in England is a life.

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

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

When complicated characters aren't well drawn, they're boring.

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.
