I'm an old git now, so I would say this, but television was better when there were less channels. There was more concentration and selection in terms of the output.
When I came to England at the very beginning of commercial television it was easy for me because I was only doing one or two shows a week at most. It was really a holiday.
There is no news media. There's simply a bunch of people on television and in newspapers who are ranking members of the Democrat Party.
Google is the enemy. I would tell that to anyone who enjoys any TV show like 'Game of Thrones' to avoid it; it spoils so many storylines.
John Kennedy won the first televised presidential debate among those watching it, while Richard Nixon won among those listening on the radio.
Twin Peaks was special because it was so groundbreaking. In the early '90s it really changed television a lot. A bunch of weird shows, like Northern Exposure, came on after that.
TV cookery is very like internet porn - the overwhelming majority of its audience will never ever get to act out what's happening on screen.
Radio allowed me to be a creator, and TV stole that creation from me by literalizing - and to some extent limiting - my vision.
I have actually directed over thirty plays and about one hundred commercials for cable TV, but have not yet had the opportunity to direct a feature film.
The problem is, there are definitely some genuinely lame things on television, and there's more at the bottom of the barrel, because the barrel in a sense has gotten bigger.
Actually, 3D is really the most normal thing because it's how those of us with two eyes usually see the world. TVs are the unusual things in 2D!
I never worked in a coffee shop and I don't drink coffee, so I never thought I would become a coffee pusher on TV.
We didn't have a television, so I grew up with books. This isn't to suggest I'm an intellectual, but I do read a lot because part of acting is an exploration of literature.
The mainstream press and television do a very soft job of covering the press, either as corporate entities or as news organizations.
It's tough now to meet a girl who wants to hang out with you because she likes your personality - who hasn't seen you on TV and is like, 'Hey!'
I had a TV set and a typewriter and that made me think a computer should be laid out like a typewriter with a video screen.
If you think a child is going to be your accessory... it's not like a micro pig. It's not about putting them in front of the television. You need to read to them at night.
Sometimes it's like watching a train wreck. You're uncomfortable, but you just can't help yourself. Some of those so-called bad interviews actually turned into compelling television.
I live, I shop almost exclusively on the Internet. I've bought cars on the Internet. I watch television, I do everything on it. I even watch my son online.
I've got about 27 gigs right now. I've got radio, I've got television, I've got The Washington Post.
After working for TV, you realise that the majority of the population still wonders where their next meal is coming from.
