Quotes

  • TV is a lot like having an office job: same crew, same people every day—it’s like a fam­ily, I didn’t move here to be on a job for three months and then sit around reading scripts and drinking coffee in L.A. the rest of the time. The quality of TV is so great now, and you get to do what you love every day. It’s the closest thing to having a normal job.
