You know, it is a terrible thing to appear on television, because people think that you actually know what you're talking about.
Because when you watch U.S. television, all the presenters and reporters, they're all out of central casting.
I doubt I'd ever do television to the extent that, say, Gordon Ramsay has.
Network television is all talk. I think there should be visuals on a show, some sense of mystery to it, connections that don't add up.
Television is a prisoner of dialogue and steady-cam. People walk down a hall, and the camera follows them around a corner.
It's actually much harder to develop a TV show than I had anticipated.
It's a tribute to the human brain that anyone is able to function out there on television in a talk situation that is entirely artificial.
I am just convinced that people want to see people on TV who are more like themselves.
I felt that it was my mission to see to it that black talent had an opportunity to get national television exposure.
I was an accidental model. One day I was asked to me a model by a neighbor who was short on models. Then I got into TV.
I never read gossip press. I just read books. And I never switch on the TV anymore.
I would wish eventually to be able to make television that informs and educates as well as entertains.
And you know, we did it as an independent film, and we weren't expecting it to be on television, and Lifetime ended up buying it. And the viewers responded intensely to that film.
I wish I'd not taken off all my clothes in my first television series, 'The Camomile Lawn.'
The guy who sits in front of the television is unengaged. That man is a bad man.
If people want to see you, they'll find you. If they don't see you on TV, they'll find you on the Internet.
Commercials on television are similar to sex and taxes; the more talk there is about them, the less likely they are to be curbed.
I always thought, if you're gonna do TV, you want to play a straight, solid, pillar-of-the-show kind of guy.
Everything is changing in squash. Lots of television coverage and the game has become very professional.
The whole thing about doing TV is that you never know what's going to happen. You just have to go with it and go with the flow.
It's important to me that I look good on television because, let's face it, I'm single, and you want somebody to watch the show and fall in love with you.
