I also need to prepare myself for the inevitability of utter boredom: Very often, single people don't do shit. They do nothing, all night long. They sit in a recliner and watch TV. I've probably watched more television than anyone you've ever met, an...
There are many stories and accounts about the winners of lotteries who are jubilant when they win, but whose lives descend into a nightmare after acquiring that unearned money. (No challenge, no skill.) Thelottery looks like "the answer" to people be...
I would never attempt to dissuade anyone from reading a book. But please, if you're reading something that's killing you, put it down and read something else, just as you would reach for the remote if you weren't enjoying a TV program...All I know is...
Peter Bradley: [interviewing Eli Cash on television] Now, your previous novel... Eli: Yes, Wildcat. Peter Bradley: Not a success. Why? Eli: Well... Wildcat was written in a kind of obsolete vernacular... [long pause as he starts to become spaced out]...
Tommy Williams: So I'm backing out the door, right, and I got the TV, like this; it was a big old thing, I couldn't see shit; suddenly I hear this voice, "Police, kid, hands in the air." You know, I was standing there, holdin' on to that TV, so final...
I'm more into the Spawn toys. They're really cool. They're coming out with a Techno Spawn series and another series, The Dark Ages, which are really cool.
There's a series of children's books called A Series of Unfortunate Events, which is like an incredibly dark version of Roald Dahl. I hope to start directing it.
Every year the World Series should go seven games for the dramatics of it.

A World Series trophy is a wonderful thing to behold.
I think the studio gave me that series on purpose, because they knew perfectly well that Robert Riskin was ill and that I needed to go to work. They gave me that series to do.
Vitruvius: We are entering your mind... Emmet: What? Vitruvius: To prove that you have the unlocked potential to be a Master Builder. [Vitruvius and Wyldstyle make chanting noises around Emmet, followed by a big flash of light] Emmet: [floating in sp...
I played the best role I've ever seen on TV or film in the last five years. It was hugely gratifying.
The schedule of doing a live TV show every week is very difficult.
I would like to think that television would be representative of the world we live in.
I don't like television when it gets near to photographed plays.
We've had American TV shows in Britain for years and that hasn't affected our culture at all.
I talk in that baby talk voice when I'm on TV, it's a put on.
I don't regard television as the outside world. I regard it as an artefact.
I'm sure 50 percent of television ads use rhyme.
TV viewing is normally a passive, mindless occupation.
