I was a massive fan of 'Twin Peaks.' Massive. I don't know how any of us grew up in this age of television and weren't astounded, and saying that, I'm still shocked that that was on network television.
My father was invited to play on a television show when I was 17 or 18 that was an early equivalent of educational television, a Sunday afternoon kind of variety art show.
The real point of watching television is to forget that you have a brain.
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.
We decided we didn't want to do a musical for TV because the idea of writing a musical that would be seen on television once seems insane.
With a play, you do it and it's gone. Films always date. Television drama always dates. Television comedy, for some reason, seems to go on.
TV and films are same for me. I took a decision to be an actor, and I am an actor. I never decided to be TV actor or film actor.
I loved the movie 'Heathers' and the TV show 'Twin Peaks.'
I enjoy reality TV shows. Watching them, and appearing in them. There's a spontaniety involved in the unscripted shows that I like to be involved with.
The dumbest thing I ever did? Buying a TV. The smartest thing I ever did? Giving that TV away.
I'm pretty captivated by reality TV and I know that as an actor I probably shouldn't be saying that, but it's what I like to watch.
I think that televisions are unnecessarily complex. The irony is that as the pictures get better and the choice of content gets broader, that the complexity of the experience of using the television gets more and more complicated.
I believe America wants and needs the shared experience of television. We far too often see in crises how television brings us together.
I have never done Cult TV before, the convention was good. It gives the fans a chance to meet the celebrities. Connect with the guy that used to be a bunch of coloured dots on your TV screen.
TV networks are dying. The death throes of religion give us jihads. The death throes of television give us reality shows.
I don't watch a great deal of television because I don't have a television, and I don't have a huge catalog of films that I've watched, either.
I've done great theatre, great films and had a lot of opportunities in television. I also love to sing, and I've been able to do that once or twice in the television shows.
I'd love to do another television series. I really love the writing process, and as an actor I really like how much you get to examine in television.
Some might not know that 'What's Happening' was the television version of 'Cooly High.' When I went on the audition, it was an audition for exactly that: the TV version of the movie.
The movie, if I recall, didn't have to do with the television show because there were concerns from everyone that they didn't want it to be like the TV show.
Reality TV has totally destroyed soap operas. They're gone. They used to be the biggest thing in the world - they're gone.
