Love Quote by Sharon Gless

Gless is talking like a working actor with taste and a read on the market, not a diva chasing “prestige.” The appeal of “a black comedy” is the tell: she’s drawn to tonal risk, to stories that let charm and dread share the same frame. “Where it’s a little eerie” isn’t just genre window-dressing; it’s an argument for complexity, for characters who can be funny and damaged in the same breath. Coming from an actress long associated with smart, adult-facing television, the line signals a desire to keep evolving without disowning what made her compelling: control, clarity, and an edge.

The subtext is professional humility that’s also strategic self-positioning. “There are about three really fabulous ones on the air now” flatters the moment (and the gatekeepers) while quietly setting a bar: she’s not interested in being the fourth-best version of a trend. It’s a subtle critique of TV’s copycat churn, where a successful tone becomes a template everyone rushes to replicate until it’s drained of danger.

“I don’t know if I can do any better than that” reads modest, but it’s also a challenge: if she can’t beat the best, she wants to change the game. “Forge new ground” is the thesis. Gless is pitching herself as someone still hungry for reinvention, and she’s naming what that takes in television: not just a good role, but a lane that isn’t already paved.
