So many movies are so formulaic because you've got to get it done in an hour and a half. On a TV series, that's where the really interesting stuff can happen.

There are only two stimulants to ones best efforts: the fear of punishment, and the hope of reward.

As soon as I hear of a right, I want it.

It's very possible that I could look like a kleptomaniac and a pathological liar and that's why I keep getting hired.
