When I can't sleep, I'll start thinking about how many shows I've done, count up the number of television shows and movies.
'The Wire,' I was such a fan of that show the first season - I think that's the best-written show on TV.
Television is the original social network. Consumers love great television, but they also love talking about television. Sharing with friends the thrill of the last episode, debating what will happen next, working to enlist friends to watch the same ...
The Texas thing is such a big deal because whenever I see Texas in a TV show, they always show slow-moving cattle and cowboys with the hats. I wanted to show that Texas isn't a stereotype.
My first job in TV was hosting this young teen magazine show, and all these high school teenagers showed up from all over Sacramento, California, and they chose four of us to host the show, two boys and two girls. And of the two girls, I was kind of ...
People are on their computers more than watching TV, because you can only watch voyeur TV, which is basically what reality shows are, for so long.
I always did TV commercials and made great money to put myself through school. That became guest starring roles on TV shows.
Reality TV finds talented people. There are no scripts. The editing is what it's all about. Great editing makes those shows.
I think I'm better wired for television. I love variety as far as a project. I'm easily bored and the schedule of a television show, it just keeps you going.
I preferred MTV as it used to be when it was about the music - I don't like it that now they just have reality shows. Reality TV rots people's brains.
If you want good sketches, go pick up Sid Caesar. The best of Your Show of Shows. That's the greatest sketch comedy you'll ever see on television.
When you're making a television show, it's about the story and arc of the show rather than any particular episode or director.
I love when people in culture show up on fictional TV shows. I don't mind at all being a name from the '90s.
I probably would be continuing to do voice-overs, continuing to do cartoon shows, and at the same time I'd probably be on a sitcom or a dramatic television show.
'The Office' is clearly the funniest show on TV. But I can't live without watching 'Eureka.' It's my favorite show of all time, and I watch it constantly on my iPod.
A hit show takes Hollywood magic indeed, but it also takes a lot of math and science, plus the study of polls and trends to make and sell a TV show.
I personally think the best ideas for TV shows - at least comedies - are very low-fi ideas. High concepts often sell pitches in movies and TV, but, especially in TV when you're talking about hopefully a 100 or 150 episode proposition, those concepts ...
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.
The closest I've come to being on a reality TV show is C-SPAN's live coverage of the Senate floor.
'Doctor Who' is the most original science-fiction television series ever made. It is also one of the longest-running television shows of all time.
You know, if a TV show dropped into my lap out of the blue, I would have a hard time turning it down because there just isn't the money in theater that there is on TV.
