It's a really weird thing, modern divorce. I found out I was getting divorced on television. That was kind of weird.
That crossover of whether it's entertainment or news is the biggest crock of b.s. in television today, because it's all entertainment.
We're exposed to ideas everywhere. The world is full of ideas. I think that television is a pretty powerful medium in that regard.
My job was to find interesting material that would give us a quality television show.
I don't watch much British television at all. I mean, it's ironic because I used to work in it for years.
I work with companies like Audiostiles to put together mixes for my restaurants. I even created a soundtrack for my television show.
I mean, the only thing that matters to me is getting to the work - getting to do the work. And I don't really care where it is: whether it's on stage or on television or in film.

It's a good thing Winston Churchill was around before the shallow age of television. He might never have become one of the greatest leaders of all time.
'Leave It to Beaver,' which ran from 1957 until 1963, was one of the strangest, sweetest, most distinctive domestic sitcoms of television's celebrated Golden Age.
And I'm hoping that over the next 20, 50 years, whatever, the mystique of television and film and all that will diminish somewhat, and people will leave us alone to get on with our jobs.
I loved my time doing 'Private Practice' in Los Angeles, and I was quite challenged and excited to learn about the art of television, but I missed being on the stage.
My passion for 'Star Trek' is actually rooted in my love of television and the art of franchise and a premise designed to stick people together that have to figure out what to do.
At the University of Maryland, my first year I started off planning to major in art because I was interested in theatre design, stage design or television design.
The best of American television is thought-provoking, original, brilliant, exciting - from 'The Sopranos' on, whether it's 'The Wire' or 'Breaking Bad' or 'House of Cards,' they're fantastic pieces of art.
I started in live television and I've done a lot of live TV and that's really the thing that I love best. I love flying by the seat of my pants.
