The Only Thing Better Than Going To

When I First Came To Hollywood, I Used To Dream Of Doing Films And Escaping Television.

The Network Wants You To Make A Thing That's Just A Stand-alone Episode, So You Never Get Any Character Or Continuity. This Is One Of The Ways In Which Television Can Actually Be Good, And Even Better Than The Movies, Because It Gives You A Chance To Tell A Long Story.

I've Done Some Things That Have Been Quite Interesting, But As Grateful As I Am For Having Been On 'dynasty,' It Was Just So Cheesy. That's Half The Reason It Was So Much Fun For People To Watch, But It's Not So Fun To Have To Say Those Lines.

For Me, The Experience Of Making The Show Is Very Much Like Being In A Novel. I Enjoy Getting The New Script. I Make A Cup Of Tea And I Read It The Same Way I Would Read A Book, With The Same Amount Of Joy.

I Grew Up 60 Minutes Way From Richmond, In Charlottesville, Virginia And, As A Child, I Was Obsessed With The Civil War. I Used To Do Re-enactments And All That Stuff.
