We believe content relationships are compelling draws even where paid-TV-provided guides are prevalent, such as here in the United States.
My first TV job was on an episode of 'Hannah Montana'... Since then, I've been fortunate to end up on shows that are just such a high quality, where the writing and material is incredible.
I've come to terms with the fact that if you're on TV, lots of people like you and lots of people hate you, and once you're OK with that, you apply it to everything.

When I was a kid, there were hardly any gay story lines or characters on television that I recall. Then when I was in college, 'Will & Grace' started up.
The comforts come from my movie and television writing. It is unusual to live this well simply from books.
