What's great about TV, and what I love about being on 'Parenthood,' is you have this family.

So that part is amazing.

The success of the storytellers - we're only as good as what we can withhold from the audience. Aspects of surprise and letting things play out for the audience - it's so much a part of their enjoyment. It's one of the great things about working in the movies and being a great storyteller.
