What you need to know about me is that I always just wanted to be a country singer. I didn't choose the path of television or being on magazine covers.
I've done a lot of television, and there's no rehearsal process - you have to come to the set with your guns blazing and with a point of view.
I want to be able to follow the example of those extraordinary British actresses who move effortlessly from film to TV to theatre roles.
It was considered that you were stepping down by doing television. I almost turned Cybill down because I so wanted to remain a theater actress.
I remember my first show was a live TV show in Ireland, and I was just petrified. It was horrific.
One of the things I've learned by working on the 'Walking Dead' and other TV shows is to be more tolerant of other people's process.
When I was bald, I went through a period where I seemed to do nothing except TV programmes about being bald.
If you know me, you know that nothing embarrasses me. Anything could happen to me on live television, and I sincerely don't care.
Cricket cannot afford to throw up meaningless games before its benefactors, which is what spectators and television audiences are.
Almost always, when I'm on TV, the producers who call me, who negotiate what we're going to say, is a woman.
I like basketball, and I've been to three games, which is so much more fun than seeing it on TV, I think.
TV tends to look for the living equivalents of squeaky-clean Kens and Barbies, but with my dial I'm more like Ken's dirty old uncle.
Watching TV is the most popular leisure activity in Britain. I find that very depressing.
To have a job you can count on as an actor is so rare, whether that means belonging to a regional theater company or being on TV.
I feel like sometimes people on television shows can start taking things for granted, or they don't want to be here or something like that.
I have been very fortunate, working a lot in TV, and have been able to dip into the film world a little bit here and there.
The idea of stardom was difficult to grasp. It was like being schizophrenic; there was her, the woman on television, and the real me.
Not watching TV gets me in a lot of trouble in my household because my wife and daughter have a lot of shows they like to watch.
Kids are much more intuitive these days. Not that I'm crazy about what's on TV, but they know so much these days.
The one function that TV news performs very well is that when there is no news we give it to you with the same emphasis as if it were.
I did a lot of ridiculous television. Between 1980 and '85 I had no confidence, so I did everything I was told to do.
