I started in the theater when I was 10, so I grew up in the theater and was very used to that, but I love movies and television, also, obviously.
But obviously as television began, it so undercut movies that he was trying to think of a way to combine seeing these special things, and the fact that people were just captivated by the magic box.
If we give people the ability to buy a lot more because they can store a lot more, for a company that creates TV shows and movies, that's fantastic.
There are a handful of talented individuals that are always going to do a better job. If you look at the amount of TV shows or movies, there's only a handful that rise to the top.

I got to do a whole slew of TV movies playing the bad guy, including an episode of Smallville. That would never have happened if I hadn't done the Stand.

Even in 2012, if there's a black character in the movies or on television that's a professional, if we even hear about their backgrounds they're always 'up from the streets.'
I suppose I was formed by too many movies and too much television. At some point I absorbed the dramatic formula.
In some ways, you could argue, television is doing far more interesting work than the movies. It's more fulfilling.
I don't really watch a lot of TV, to be honest. I'm more of a movie girl, or I Netflix stuff.

In every movie and every TV show, the dads are morons. And dads tend to react by doing what dads do best: They check out. They say, 'Ask your mother.'
