I ended up with my life slanted toward television, and I just accept that. I think you play the hand the way it's dealt, that's all.
A successful television series can chain you to a schedule of long hours and can put your personal life on hold. But after it is all over, if you survive, then anything is possible.
I'm one of the lucky actors in television. I don't make a lot of big waves, but there's constant activity, and that's the way I prefer to live my life.
Clark Gable seemed fascinating all his life because there wasn't so much information about him. Today, you're on television all the time.
My life is not nuts. I hardly ever watch television, I don't go out very much, so I don't really know what's going on.
I was delighted to have lines when they came - learning lines for film isn't a problem, but television is a little different, because we shot those shows the whole way through.
What I'm still grappling with and learning how to do is to be looking and thinking cinematically, having come from television.
I'd love to be in a feature film, and I don't just mean in a starring role - it could be a small part. And I would like to act in television, to do comedy and drama.

I'm an old guitar player who has fallen into television and is so happy he did.
I definitely acknowledge that 'The Matrix' and Trinity had an influence on female action-oriented characters in television and in film. I think it's awesome.
I've always been conscious of the fact that there aren't enough Irish voices on British television compared to the amount of Irish people who live there.
Some might not know that 'What's Happening' was the television version of 'Cooly High.' When I went on the audition, it was an audition for exactly that: the TV version of the movie.
With the fragmentation of television audiences and the advent of cable and on-demand services, the prestige of being an anchor is not what it was in the days of Walter Cronkite.
I was at a luncheon; and some cameras were trained on us. I don't know whether they were for television or not. You know how little I know about cameras.
When I first did a U.S. pilot season, there were very few British actors schlepping around town trying to get into television. That was 1999.
You know, as somebody who writes op-eds and appears on the television, I appreciate as well as anybody that... there is a limit to what that accomplishes.
Between 18 and 26 I acted professionally, on the stage and a little bit on television. Acting is okay, but it's quite pressurized. Then I went to England - I wanted to reinvent myself.
