One thing about television in Britain is that they're so scared about complaints. It curbs a lot of drama.
I was brought up in a tenement house in a working district. We didn't even have a bathroom! We had a gaslight in the hallway and a black-and-white TV.
You know, I've never been a comic book person, just because that's not my gig and I don't have a television.
It's a dialogue, not a monologue, and some people don't understand that. Social media is more like a telephone than a television.
I'm on the Internet a lot more than I watch TV and most everybody I know is, and yet if you watch most late-night talk shows, it's as if it doesn't even exist.
I am a stage actor. I do mostly improv comedy. The only national television stuff is 'Archer' and' Frisky Dingo.'
Ever since I was a kid, I just loved those comedians on TV who would just have fun with the language.
When I was a kid, there were hardly any gay story lines or characters on television that I recall. Then when I was in college, 'Will & Grace' started up.
The comforts come from my movie and television writing. It is unusual to live this well simply from books.
But, I don't know, the violence, I can't even talk about. We don't do a lot of violent shows. When I started in television, breaking a pencil was a violent act.
I have to say that as an actor, I really look for the role. I'm not really looking to see if it's for television or film, because there are highly talented people in both mediums.
You start to think bigger when you see how quickly a TV show can catch on in a whole country. That confidence, and thinking big, opened a lot of doors.
When synchronised swimming first appeared on TV, we laughed very heartily, and I, for one, applauded the decision to introduce humour into the Olympics.
I think modern television shows, with their intricate plots, are stimulating our minds. This is one reason IQs have been going up.
On the one hand, young theatre directors were coming to television theatre, because they wanted to get closer to the cinema, despite having studied and worked for the theatre.
In Europe, there is no television filmmaking legislation that could assist film production because private broadcasters are not interested in supporting Polish film.
There's a lot of writing in television that can sound like it's taken out of a package, and the way to get around that is to not allow yourself to deliver it that way.
TV is a major force in our lives - a FORCE. It must be handled very carefully, both its censure and its artistic honesty.
I look forward to putting out the new CD and doing the television performances to show everyone that B. Brown is back. In fact, I never left.
There are times my stories become - what I feel - not only accessible to hearing me on television, but they make wonderful reading.
I had the idea for the show like a year and a half, two years ago. And it was all about the things that I didn't like about TV. I was trying to create a positive solution for it. And it actually worked.
