I should be able to relate to the character that I am expected to play, because TV is a long-term commitment. I believe in enjoying my work and I need to be excited about the character offered to me. This is one reason why I have stayed away from fiction. Though some very good roles have been offered to me, I haven't really been kicked about anything and I am willing to wait.”

It’s a tough call.”
