Julian Fellowes Quotes

Education. Experience. Or are they the same thing? Picture Quote #1

Harsh reality is always better than false hope Picture Quote #1

What is a week-end? Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey Picture Quote #1

I think America has dealt with - I mean, this is simplistic, and of course I don’t live in America - but the impression I get is that there is not a kind of obligation to dislike those who are better off or be frightened of those who are worse off Picture Quote #1

To me, all success is a delightful surprise, since one can absolutely never predict it Picture Quote #1

The moment I was introduced to my wife, Emma, at a party I thought, here she is - and 20 minutes later I told her she ought to marry me. She thought I was as mad as a rat.

Most of the soap operas always use the Christmas special to kill huge quantities of their characters. So they have trams coming off their rails, or cars slamming into each other or burning buildings. It’s a general clean-out Picture Quote #1

Maggie Smith has a unique sense of comedy, based on a somewhat ironic view of real life, making it both funnier and more sad. But perhaps her greatest ability, or at least the one that most intrigues me, is how she can convey deep and powerful emotion without a trace of sentimentality Picture Quote #1

A lot of actors find it impossible not to ask for the audience’s sympathy. They have a need to twinkle Picture Quote #1

There is almost nothing in your house that does not tell something about you Picture Quote #1

People tend to view history as if it were another planet and think the modern world was invented in 1963. I don’t agree Picture Quote #1

My own belief is that most people are trying to do their best. It doesn’t mean they have no nasty side, or that they don’t have a bad temper, or that they have never done anything they feel ashamed of. But fiction operates on people waking up trying to be horrible, and I don’t think most people are trying to be horrible Picture Quote #1

The movies are funny, in one way, because you think of everyone being as beautiful as the dawn, but that isn’t true Picture Quote #1

Lawyers are always confident before the verdict. It’s only after that they share their doubts Picture Quote #1

I think Americans are wonderful film actors - the best in the world - but they are a very contemporary race and they look forward all the time Picture Quote #1

You do get fond of your characters. Handing them on is like giving a child to a nanny Picture Quote #1

I come from a class which used to be called the gentry - which is nowadays mistakenly used to include the nobility, but in fact is not. The gentry was essentially the untitled landowning class Picture Quote #1

I think the reason why people love ‘Downton Abbey’ is because all the characters are given the same weight. Some are nice, some are not, but it has nothing to do with class or oppressors versus the oppressed Picture Quote #1

We live a life that is often spent in crowds - parties, festivals and first nights - so it’s nice to avoid them Picture Quote #1

What the Americans want to see is life in their drama. Life of all sorts: hard lives, easy lives, or lives which, like most of ours, are a mixture of the two Picture Quote #1

The great houses of Britain have, for centuries, been the guardians of much of our history, not just of the families who built and lived in them, but of the people who worked there, of the local area, of all of us Picture Quote #1
