Its tricky to do a serialized show and not lose viewers along the way because you really have to watch every episode.

I love not knowing. It keeps me guessing.

I always like to try to bring whatever I can to what is on the page, so I like to find as much dimension as I can, in each role.

If it's strictly comedy, I like to bring some darkness to it. If it's strictly drama, I always like to lighten it up as well. I like to find some kind of dimension and make my characters human, so that it doesn't feel like a sketch and feels more like a slice of life.

Over the years, TV has gotten so much better, especially with the advent of cable. The bar has been raised. I think HBO really set the standard with The Sopranos, and then on mainstream TV, shows like Lost broke amazing ground.
