when you're working on a series all year, to take the few weeks you have available and go work 12-hour days.

I've gotta get back on a sitcom.'

apartment check developing experience instead lead love meeting next produce script until weeks wonderful wrap
We were developing the script right up to, and through, the first weeks of filming. I'd rehearse, then instead of being able to go back to the apartment and relax, I'd have to go to a script meeting or check one of the sets. It was hard, but it was really satisfying. I would love to produce something without also having to be the lead actor in it. I said at the wrap party, 'This has really been a wonderful experience ... and I never want to do it again!' That's until the next time, of course.
