I think TV, I think right now, and I speak for many shows. Not just our show. That TVs now in it’s zenith. It’s how the 70s were for movies-the 2000’s are for TV. I think it’s a phenomenal time for TV and to be involved in it. And I, as you know, this show slightly preempted me that curve, but God am I glad that it worked out that way. Because I really, I didn’t have much experience with TV. I had mostly done movies and some plays. So I was very lucky to end up in a show that was not only successful, but was sort of groundbreaking in its own way, or at least it pushed some boundaries!

[on ‘”Californication” (2007)’] David (Duchovny) always said the thing that drew him to the story originally was this idea that a couple met and they had ‘it.’ They had that thing, they had the spark. They were in love. And they lost it, destroyed it, and then tried to get it back. And couldn’t. That maybe you don’t get a second chance.
