I felt like 'Life' was a great show. It was really well-written.
My dignity and good television - they'll never meet.
I just want a show that has good content, and I am open to anything on TV.
Before I started on 'Borgen', people introduced me to some great American box-sets to convince me that TV could be good. I now watch them all the time. Amy Poehler is very funny in 'Parks and Recreation' and 'In Treatment,' with Gabriel Byrne, is also really good.
When I wind someone up, it's never to make them feel angry or aggressive; that doesn't make good telly. It's about uncovering a layer of themselves that is kind of sweet and nice.
I watch a lot of TV, and I'd like to think what I watch is good TV.
I think you know, to not open your mind to television is silly because there's so much good work happening on television.
'Black Mirror' was amazing.
The best shows are always the ones that are very, very low-concept and just about great characters.
I think with 'Modern Family,' you'll struggle to find anything better. It's brilliantly, brilliantly written.
I'm not setting 'Jericho' up to be anything other than what it is, which is, you know, a piece of good, well thought-out, well put-together TV and entertainment.
There are only a handful of really good TV programmes, and I'm blessed to be in one of them.
I think it's really important to have good quality drama on TV.
There's not a lot of good TV.
I am a competitive person. But more good TV is more good TV.
'The Newsroom' is phenomenally bad good TV. Sam Waterston and Jeff Daniels and Emily Mortimer are all terrific! So is the production, and the direction, and even the editing!
