There was a while when I got really bad stage fright and I basically felt...I was incredibly angry.

TV can be fairly rigid. I've done enough Network TV to know that it's fun but if I have to go somewhere every day maybe it's not the most satisfying [job].

If you don't respect each other and let it lie, it can be embarrassing or really frustrating.

Don't be snarky, but don't be saccharine. Don't pander, but don't shut people out. Go straight down the line with the performance.
