“Televisison is like a factory line. You need discipline and focus. You have to hit your mark and know your lines. It's not that I don't know my lines when I do a film, but the pace of discovery is always a little bit more relaxed and nurturing and almost babying, in a way. Television toughens you up, and I like that, but I don't want it to toughen me up too much.” KnowsWayWantNeedsLittlesFilmBitsLinesToo MuchFocusTelevisionDisciplineLittle BitDiscoveryMarkPaceFactoriesRelaxedNurturing Author:Shannyn Sossamon

So you generally probed people a little bit more. Film writing is much more horizontal. You can insert anything you want: meadows, battlefields, the Taj Mahal, a cast of thousands.
