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

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.

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.

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

People love solving puzzles, and you always love it when somebody smarter than you is solving puzzles.

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.

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.
