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

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.

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.

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.

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

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