Telev Quotes

I was the most popular person in my family. I was like a celebrity. All my sisters would fight over who got to sleep with me. I was always thinking up all the games, telling all the stories, and had the best clothes. I was the entertainment. We didn`t have television and we didn`t have movies, and I was always the boss. I`d write these plays and I`d make everybody be in them. Once, I had this idea that we`d put all the beds on top of one another so there would be only one bed, but it would be a really big, tall bed. Then we`d take turns sleeping on that bed while everybody else slept on the floor. Like, for a month. Everyone thought that was a great idea. I don`t know why. I guess because we grew up way, way out in the country and we never had any neighbors.

Television is fast and loose. You have two or three takes to get your part right, and if you have a problem well by the time you figure it out everyone`s moved on to the next scene. It`s good training, keeps you on your toes. (on the benefits of acting on television)
