“I think a reason why TV is exciting and getting so much better is because we [authors] get to play off of an actor's strengths and challenge them on their weaknesses.

“I feel like I turned down a lot of things that I wish I hadn't. But you never know when you're younger. I don't have regrets about certain things I turned down. Those films would have required things of me that would have been challenging, and they ended up being really good movies. But I was never a careerist, I never thought in those terms.

“So often times we see these films that erode human dignity...films that deny the transcendent moral order of the moral universe. They're always eroding natural affections for families. Fathers betray their commitments, children's are always portrayed as brats and disobedient, marriages are always in crisis and struggle. I think (for) most of us, that's not the lives we live. We're always being challenged, we always have challenges but we love our families, we love our spouse, we love our children.” ThinkingHumansChildrenFilmOrderUniverseFatherNaturalChallengesMoralStruggleCommitmentDignityOur ChildrenCrisisAffectionDenyOur FamilyBetraySpouseTranscendentHuman DignityErodeBratLove Our ChildrenLove Our Family Author:Jason Jones

“Well, I don't know anything about television. I'd never done it before. Initially, it was quite daunting to take on so much challenge and so much time with it. I think it is a great outlet for an actress because you really have 13 hours to bring a character to life, which is so much more than with film, and you have the luxury of time to tell a story and to really color a character.” ThinkingKnowsWellsDoneCharacterStoriesFilmHoursChallengesTelevisionColorActressesLuxuryOutlets Author:Diane Kruger
