TV's like whitewater rafting: Without rocks, there wouldn't be rapids, and it wouldn't be as much fun.

In TV, there's so much compromise, it does start to grate a bit. But if you're a writer or an actor, it really is the place to be.

Limitations are something that I latch onto - like working in genre, or if you're writing TV, there are act breaks, there's a length of time it's supposed to be. The restrictions of budget and sets can be really useful. When you can have everything, it's very hard to make things feel real and lived in.

I respect the rules of TV, the rules of keeping things commercial and interesting and pop-y and fun.
