I’m one of those guys that spins through the clicker when I’m watching TV. When one of my movies comes on, I’ll watch a scene or two.
I think when we grow up watching TV, the stars seem like stars. You don’t know what they went through. You don’t know how they got it. It almost seems unattainable. With social media, we are able to show people if you work hard, that you can literally do the same thing.

Football is my profession now. I’m getting married in August… It’s a new experience for me as someone just getting out of college. I still have the same attitude about football I always had. I play hard. I enjoy practice. I’d rather be throwing in passing drills than sitting around and watching TV.
To relax, I love sitting back and turning my brain off and watching TV.
I never really grew up watching TV.
Like, I have had moments, which I think most people have, where you’ll be watching TV, and it’ll be interrupted by some tragic event, and you’ll actually find yourself thinking, ‘I don’t want to hear about this train being derailed! What happened to ‘The Flintstones?’

I would be sitting in my flat watching TV, and ‘Doctor Who’ would be on with my flatmate there. I would have loved to share the fact that I was the new Doctor, but I couldn’t. I was going mad. My dad was rather flabbergasted. When I told him, he laughed. He was excited, elated and very proud.
I stopped watching TV because of ‘The Wire.’ Like, ‘The Wire’ ruined everything for me because I don’t even want to watch anything else now.
The civil rights movement is something I’ve looked into a lot. When I was about 23, I started reading up on it all and watching TV programmes.
But, if you read science journals or the inside of Snapple caps, you might already know that watching TV is the closest you can get to being dead, which is why it’s so relaxing.
For me as a young kid, my parents took me to random cities. I stayed at my relatives and the biggest trouble I had was watching TV on my own.
Even when I was much younger, whatever I did, I wanted to do it to the best of my abilities. When I came home from school, I would be the one doing my homework while my siblings would be watching TV and putting it off until later.
The thought processes that go through my head when I’m playing a game compared to the thought processes in real life are very, very different. And they’re more interesting to me than what you think about when you’re doing the dishes, cleaning the yard, watching TV, driving or watching a movie.
My upbringing was very un-Hollywood… I was born in New York and grew up on a ranch. I was never really smitten by the business in those days, never a fan type – just a basic kid watching TV.

When you play a show or festival, people know what they’re getting; they want it. Then you’re thrown onto a show where people are watching TV in their houses, and whether they ask for it or not, we’re being played in front of them. There’s a lot of negative feedback.
I was a huge ‘Charlie’s Angels’ fan when I was a little girl, and I can go back to sitting on my couch in Ottawa, Ontario, watching TV and thinking, ‘How do I get to there from here, because that looks way better.’

I watch a lot of TV. That’s how I spend most of my time outside of work. If I had more time, I would fill it 100 percent with watching TV.
This almost never happens, but what is really relaxing is just being in this house all by myself, sitting quietly and watching TV. But I basically never get that chance.
