Zitat des Tages über Fernseher / TV:
People always ask us, 'When are you guys gonna do a movie? When are you gonna do a TV show?' And to me, that feels like such a step backwards from where are.
TV is what sells your product.
When I watch films or tv that I've done, I get very restless and tend to not sit still.
Why do British people make such good TV? It's so annoying. Stop it. Is it because they have free health care? Uggh.
When they show the destruction of society on color TV, I want to be able to look out over Los Angeles and make sure they get it right.
When I first did theatre, I was always doing comedies; it was always my first love. But it wasn't what I was picked for at first, for films and TV.
I don't get to watch Futurama, until it's on TV.
I say have the night and give people the awards, but why do people want to watch people win awards? What are they getting out of it? I don't quite get it. Because they have awards all the time; there's awards for butchers, the best meat served, but they don't televise it. I don't know why they do it for films or TV programs.
Most TV shows don't reward you for paying attention.
I hated my brief fame. We had TV vans camped outside my house, reporters hounded me... people i'd know for years started treating me differently.
The director in TV and the writer and the creator are working very much hand in hand.
In network TV, you have to present the box before you can step outside it.
Sometimes I like to watch TV, though I never get to watch any of the shows in real time. I'm a fan of 'Downton Abbey,' 'Boardwalk Empire,' and 'Boss.' There's a British series called 'Luther,' but in England, they think a series means four episodes. And I like 'Mad Men.' Otherwise, it's always good to unwind with a book.
It's that TV thing. You can be in the biggest film of the year and it will still not have the kind of impact a TV series has. Once you're in people's living rooms, that's it. There's no hiding place.
There's some great women doing TV. I would love to do a Grey's Anatomy-type show. I'm a big fan.
The burden of originality is one that most people don't want to accept. They'd rather sit in front of the TV and let that tell them what they're supposed to like, what they're supposed to buy, and what they're supposed to laugh at.
I'm really not that special. Really, I'm not. I was on a big TV show, but it was just a TV show.
You never really see me acting a fool on TV.
That tv box has a tremendous capacity to reach people.
I like a very dark house, just black. I sit there and just think. Once I'm still and quiet inside, I'll begin. It's very personal; it has to be. One song may be Bach, the next blues, a song from TV, or a nursery rhyme or jazz piece.
Sometimes when I watch a TV season, your favorite shows die quickly. And then sometimes it's not your favorite, and they live on for 12 years.
TV tends to try and fit everyone into a TV mold.
I only really like to watch things like 'Time Team.' I'd rather be out walking the dog. It's all reality TV, which, as an actor, I detest.
If we give people the ability to buy a lot more because they can store a lot more, for a company that creates TV shows and movies, that's fantastic.
There are obviously legal restrictions on what you can do on TV in the States, as there are everywhere.
I am a professional performer and I only appear on TV for entertainment or for philanthropic organizations, and I consider this a very serious matter that doesn't fit into either category.
I was sad Jon Ronson, who wrote in the Guardian and has made a TV show for Channel 4, took against me.
Whether you're on TV or on the stage, you have to work hard to stay fresh, real, and full of energy. You can't settle back. You always have to stay on your toes.
In the amount of time it takes to microwave a TV dinner, you can put something much tastier on the table, I promise.
Nobody believed the 'Food Network' could last. Even I was short sighted and thought to myself, 24 hours of food on TV? They'll run out of things to talk about in four days! But that wasn't true. 'Food Network' continues to get better and evolve.
You see a Donald Trump on TV, just like you'd see Joan Rivers on TV when she was living, and you see a real person. That's the Donald Trump that I know.
In a world of cell phones and satellite feeds - a world in which the president can sit in the White House situation room and watch a military action unfold on the other side of the world - it is not realistic to expect TV news to be anything but what it has become: a ceaseless flow of words and images that may or may not be accurate.
I'm just ah, actually developing a tv show for HBO, and I'm directing a film this summer, and actually I'm doing some live shows out in western Canada.
My goal is to be the best TV presenter, the best entertainer, the best singer. I still want to be the best dancer. I want to be the best at everything I do.
It is about time that TV actors were paid as well as film stars.
TV viewing is normally a passive, mindless occupation.
