Characters can become boring. That's what's tricky about television. It goes on and on - you're playing this same character for five seasons and it gets easy to fall into just walking on the set and assuming you know how to play a scene.
You put a movie star or a bunch of movie stars in a movie, it doesn't mean people are gonna go see it. It's been proven time and time again.
When I was growing up, the top movies dealt with grown-up, complex emotions.
When I first started, I was kind of surprised that anyone would ever hire me at all. So I took everything that I was offered.
Let's face it, making movies is all risk. Most of the time, batting average-wise, the reward does not outweigh the risk.
