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

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.

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

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.

There's a new television generation coming in every five or 10 years, and the classic stories stand up to being redone.

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.
