I really love the process, with stage, of rehearsal, you get to create a character, and you have a beginning, a middle, and an end of story. And in television, you don’t.

Meaning of the quote

In acting, you get to go through a special process when working on a play or a movie. During rehearsals, you can really develop your character and tell a complete story with a beginning, middle, and end. But when you work on a TV show, you don't get to do that as much because the story is always ongoing.
