Television provides the opportunity for an ongoing story - the opportunity to meld the cast and the characters and a world, and to spend more time there.
I love series television because it's so much fun to have that much opportunity to paint the character.
I was very naughty. That's the reason I didn't go very much to the university, because I was partying with my friends more than going to the university.
I do tend to find when you're playing characters, often - just for the time you're playing them - there are sides of your personality that get stronger because you draw on them more.
We decided we didn't want to do a musical for TV because the idea of writing a musical that would be seen on television once seems insane.
I think the quality of television, given the amount of time you have, how short you have, is proportionally so much better than most movies.
Ted Hughes is dead. That's a fact, OK. Then there's something called the poetry of Ted Hughes. The poetry of Ted Hughes is more real, very soon, than the myth that Ted Hughes existed - because that can't be proven.
Television broadcasts have, in the main, been more suggestive, less specific, more distant in their images than the print press: often you knew that lump was a dead body only because a chattering reporter told you it was.
I've always been one to throw caution to the wind, and my motto has been, 'Never have a dull moment.' Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't, but I don't think I'd have it much differently.
