You Have To Love The Characters You

I Love Histories. I Love Learning. I Love Books That Talk About People Who Made A Real Impact On History, Because It Always Has To Do With Who They Were At That Time And What Their Personalities Were Like And What Their Strengths And Weaknesses Were.

I'm Fascinated By The First World War Because It Was Supposed To Be The War To End All Wars, And It Was The Biggest Conflagration That This Particular Planet Had Seen. There Was A Lot Of Talk About Utopia And How It Was Possible, And Then, Because Of These Events That For One Reason Or Another Couldn't Be Stopped, The Idea Of Utopia Went Out The Window.

I Also Have Always Felt That Television Has A Huge Potential For The Kinds Of Audiences That Some Films Would Never Dream Or Ever Be Able To Have. So That Potential Is Very Exciting To Me.

And Those Moments That I Find Mind Busting. Meaning Like There's A Word That I Find In A Weird Place. I Love The Process Of Going To The Writer And Working That Out, Because That's Just Basic Communication.

I've Often Been Mistaken For Meryl Streep, Although Never On Oscar Night.
