I know so many people who actually just watch television on their computers now and don't even really watch their TV anymore.
I can live without endless television programmes and films just centered around computers. I can sort of live without that.
We're one of the forces that causes actors to fasten seat belts before they take off chasing the bad guy in the car... or removes some of the cigarette smoking on television.
I can't turn on the television without seeing me, or open the newspaper without seeing me and, honestly, I'm sick to death of me.
I still see myself on TV and think, 'Oh my God, I'm on a television, and there are millions of people watching,' and I get really nervous and embarrassed and insecure.
Personally, I don't think the film and television industries are run as well as they used to be. Oh sure, we've got great digital effects now but... where are the visionaries?
I have a lot of great friends in football. The game was great to me. And I've been able to do other things in television and enjoy that, meeting those people.
There's a great appetite for smart television. Every day I get up and there are interesting stories I want to do.
I've never seen most of the fashion reality shows. The only one I've seen is 'Project Runway,' which is great, but I don't watch television.
I always wanted to work on films, and when I was starting in television in this country, in Great Britain, there really wasn't any film to be made.
It was the beginning of film for television. So we had all of these great opportunities. Northwestern was probably the only major film school of its kind at the time that was graduating anybody important.
We can put television in its proper light by supposing that Gutenberg's great invention had been directed at printing only comic books.
Figure skating is an unlikely Olympic event but its good television. It's sort of a combination of gymnastics and ballet. A little sexy too which doesn't hurt.
And I believe that good journalism, good television, can make our world a better place.
Sometimes good television doesn't depend on money, it depends on imagination and good people directing, casting and doing the job with talented people.
I just think it's fun to remind people that good television has exited and it can exist again and just to give them pleasure and enjoy it and make them laugh.
The television industry doesn't like to see the compexity of the world. It prefers simple reporting, with simple ideas: this is white, that's black; this is good, that's bad.
Well, you'll find the most boring part of it is the waiting, at least if it's in films anyway. Television's a lot faster, but the product... I don't think it's as good as a film.
The more intelligent the storytelling becomes and the deeper the character development, people will realize in film and television, like they do in real life, that human beings possess both good and bad.
I was proud of 'House, MD,' and I think it was good for what it was and remarkably smart for a television show. I loved Hugh Laurie and was proud to be by his side that long and to be trusted by him.
I'm a writer. Now I've started to be on television. I have a big mouth. And I have good TV teeth, they say.
