I love doing television; it's such a brilliant way to tell a story over six hours rather over the two hours of doing a movie.
One of the things that takes a bit of getting used to on an American series is having a different director, and often writer, every week.
Filming a movie is different from a TV show because film is a lot quicker, you get to see the character progress and grow all in one script, and in television, you wait for a weekly update on each character.
You can do things with TV that you just can't do on film. There's so much more time: there's the opportunity for development, and you can let things lay dormant for a period. You can't really do that in two hours or three hours in a movie that often, I would say.
That's the thing about TV: it gives you so much time to tell your story; it's comparable to comics.
One of the great things about a TV series is that it's different to a movie - in a movie you obviously know the beginning, the middle and the end of what you're going to do. With a TV series it's unfolding, and you're discovering with every episode.
There is no point in appearing in just a few episodes. If I do a show on television, it won't be for a few episodes only.
It's great to try another format and be part of telling a story over ten episodes.
