| Have you ever imagined yourself in a TV show? |
I think I'd like to slide up to the bar at Cheers sometime and have a beer with Norm
and the guys. That would be quite interesting.
|
| How much television do you watch, and do you identify with anyone on TV? |
I like a lot of television. I watch Friends and I watch Seinfeld. The likability
of certain actors is that you identify with them. And again, if they do their job
well, if they're good, you feel you are in their position. You know, you're Lucy
at the candy factory, or you're Jackie Gleason ready to, pow, send her right to the
moon. Yeah, some current ones that are on now, you immerse yourself in the character.

| What would you like to have changed on televsion? |
Like everybody, I think I would say I'd like less commercials or no commercials.
That's not reality. But in terms of what you see on TV, I think that both Hollywood
and television could show classic stories the way they're written rather than have
that, quote-unquote, Hollywood ending. Nothing aggravates me more than knowing how
things are produced, that what you're watching is leveled off to the lowest common
denominator and put before audiences to see how they react. And the stories are changed.
I think those people who try to make television drama as close as possible to the
original material realizing that the original material has value do us a great service.
That's why I like public television and the masterpiece theater.
