You do show after show after show and get them done and on the air. Television devours material. We work a minimum of 12, 14 hours, and often 15, 18 hours a day.

If it seems like you're doing work when you're acting, then you're doing something wrong.

I'm more interested in where I'll be in five or 10 years than where I am now.
