I enjoy the process of TV; I like the pace of it; I like the continual work.
Nobody really wants to be a stand-up, they want to get on TV.
What's so great about TV is that you can get an opportunity to tell really rich stories, over the course of so many hours. It's like a novel of this type of medium.
I never wanted to be the lead on a TV drama. It just robs you of your life, really.
If you think what you see on TV is prejudiced, it is. Follow your instincts.
You can't get any better than TV on HBO, ABC and BBC3.
I think surprises make TV entertaining.
You come to America, and, if you do a big TV show, then you can be overexposed, or old, before you're new.
It`s the nature of cable news that we [TV hosts] do a lot of clipping and quoting of other broadcasts and outlets, sometimes to make a narrative point, sometimes to make a political one, and sometimes just to make a joke.
I don't know if the podcast as a medium will ever have the cultural impact that TV and movies do. It may never be super-mainstream.
I couldn't survive just doing independent movies. And I'd rather do modelling than movies or TV I didn't like.
TV does so much these days. It is such a great platform for an artist.
Can't sleep unless the TV is on.
I'd like to break some new ground, maybe in TV presenting, rather than just be an actress.
Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, the higher your profile, the more castable you are in TV dramas.
I've always been exactly who I am on TV. I'm not playing a role.
Before any exposure on TV, I'm a real chef.
I think what's so great about TV is I don't know if all these things were planned at first, or if they see the fans' reactions to things. They really do listen to what the fans want, and feel strongly about, and push for, so all these things are happening organically.
I met a woman in Albuquerque and she came and hung out with me in the trailer. It was really just more to kind of really understand my biggest concern was always the interrogation scenes. Remember, that's why I really wanted to meet somebody because you see those scenes on TV so much.
I'm currently doing Undeclared an American TV show set in a college. It just got aired and got massive ratings so hopefully that'll screen in the UK soon
You make the money in movies and TV so you can do theater. I do a play a year... somewhere.
The Sookie Stackhouse novels were selling well before the TV show, but the TV show led to a lot more exposure and readers. And a lot went on to read my other work. It was a wonderful thing for my bank account.
I started off doing live TV, so I kind of learnt that if I get myself into trouble, I get myself out of it.
I've been doing makeovers on TV for years and years and years. It's something I really know how to do. I also know personally what it's like to not feel good about yourself.
I remember my first show was a live TV show in Ireland, and I was just petrified. It was horrific.
