Television is of great educational value. It teaches you while still young how to (a) kill, (b) rob, (c) embezzle, (d) shoot, (e) poison, and, generally speaking, (f) how to grow up into a Wild West outlaw or gangster by the time you leave school.
My plan is, I'm in the process of creating a production company called Tall Girls productions. I want to be doing both film and television. I'll never leave television. I just love working in it too much.
Film and television, one is generally faster. Television generally moves faster in terms of directing, schedules and getting things done. Film, you're on a pretty tight schedule, so the process is the dame.
Working on television is much more stressful than working for a movie. The pace of work is relaxed while shooting a movie.
You can't really gauge the difficulties of television. There's difficulties and joys that happen with an amazing, great team, when one is working. Television can be a very frustrating job for almost anybody working in television, because you're shooting episodically, and you don't know one scene from the next, and maybe they change around.
It's very interesting to know what people are doing while you're working on late-night television.
I think everybody's got different methods of working which suit the particular individual. Mine is to sort of play the part, and give 100%, to concentrate and focus on it while I'm actually working, but then leave it behind until the next day.
The working hours are easy in films, while there is always an anxiety on television. So the energies are very different.
I like to leave a little room to innovate and change things around while I'm working.
Never say never. At least with working out I'm proving you don't need to. If I have three chins at 75 I'm not saying I wouldn't get rid of them, but who knows. Generally, I'd leave it alone.
Once you've finished typing and moving text around and everything else, you have to leave it alone for a while. You do that to see if it stands up, to see if all the loose edges have been trimmed, if it makes sense, if it's consistent, what shape it really has. You can't tell that while you're working on it.
I don't generally listen to music while working, but sometimes music can help me get past minor writer's block.
I watched wrestling for the first time on television while in Punjab, after which I started working seriously to become a good wrestler.
I did not leave television to go to the movies. In television, they banned me.
If your working television sits on top of your non-working television, you might be a redneck.
There is a difference. You watch television, you don't witness it. But, while watching television, if you start witnessing yourself watching television, then there are two processes going on: you are watching television, and something within you is witnessing the process of watching television. Witnessing is deeper, far deeper. It is not equivalent to watching. Watching is superficial. So remember that meditation is witnessing.
