TV is a pornographic cacophony of violence, death obsession, screams, gunfire and drama. You think it's fine because you are damaged.
People relate to things that feel real to them. All the good, happy, over-sexed and moneyed endings on TV are not the way most of us feel in our lives. The success of 'E.R.,' I think, is not relying on overly sentimental stories that are solved where...
I never learned music. I'm quite uneducated, and usually I sat in front of the TV, with soap operas on, in England. It was very inspiring for me, I'd done all this traveling around, I came back living with my parents, everyone around me was like they...
Live TV has an amazing pace to it. You've got to be able to think quick, make changes last minute, and be funny and fast.
I wasn't a glamour-puss, and there were more interesting roles for an actress like me in the theater and in live television.
I sit on my duff, smoke cigarettes and watch TV. I'm not exactly a poster girl for healthy living.
I combined theatre and films with live TV, such as 'The Royal Variety Show,' performing sketches opposite Bob Hope and Maurice Chevalier.
One of the things that was probably to Dad's discredit was that he was never a fund-raiser. But he didn't live in an era of TV ads.
While television is a good servant, it's a bad master. It can swallow up huge quantities of our lives without much happiness bang for the buck.
There is plenty of television. There are plenty of talk shows. There are plenty of comedians. But there is not plenty of worship of the true and living God.
I'm going to write a whole pilot and see if anyone's interested, and if not then I'll just live out the tortured life instead of showing it on TV.
I'd love to star in a television series of my own. I love the idea of living with a character for a number of years, watching him grow.
I feel like so much of why I sort of want to work in television is so that people know to come see me live.
TV is the place for writers to live. This is where you have creative control and you're constantly writing. 'Twilight' had almost a TV schedule to it. I was constantly working on these projects. There was not a whole lot of lull but I've gone onto ot...
Television hols up a mirror to the true nature of family life today. For the first time people see themselves reflected and refracted within its curved glass screen: helping them to define who the are and how they should behave. The introduction of t...
I think you just have to accept the fact that no one lives forever, and eventually things are going to come to an end, whether it's a TV show or life.
A film has a sort of life over time, whereas a TV show comes up in your living room, and it's immediate, and people write about it.
We film in front of a live audience, and I was a theater actor before I got into television, so I like that.
When we launched Hulu, everybody was saying, 'Oh, this is going to be a substitute for pay TV in the living room.'
Please don't waste-away in front of a TV waiting to win a lottery during the precious few hours you are not imprisoned in corporate shackles.
I feel like I came to acting late in a way. I was about 26 or 27, and it was imperative that I make a living right away, and it's hard to make a living on stage, so I started in television and film.
