Television Quotes

Wayfarer is built on the idea that we can actually make a huge difference by creating entertainment and television and digital and branded content with a message. It doesn’t always have to be really, really inspiring or really earnest. We call it chocolate-covered broccoli Picture Quote #1

Well digital media and social media are eliminating the middle man - in the old days, you had to go through the editors. Or the television producer, you know? Now you have people talking directly to each other, globally who have never met. I think you put the word in word of mouth Picture Quote #1

There’s something I call ‘Moving Day,’ which I’ve done for the last 20 years. Look at everything in your home, then think about how you could combine things in a different way. Maybe you break up your night tables and use one in the family room; maybe the dining room sideboard becomes a console table for your television, with storage underneath Picture Quote #1

The thing I love about television is that people watch you in their pajamas, and when they’re eating dinner. You’re part of the family Picture Quote #1

The television set’s on while the family’s sitting around having dinner or talking. Nobody’s watching TV; it’s there; they’re aware of it, but they’re not participating. That’s passive Picture Quote #1

Somewhere in the back of their minds, hosts and guests alike know that the dinner party is a source of untold irritation, and that even the dullest evening spent watching television is preferable Picture Quote #1

The family dinner table is the cornerstone of civilization and those who ‘graze’ from refrigerators or in front of the television sets are doomed to remain in a state of savagery Picture Quote #1

We really didn’t have the option of being couch potatoes when I was growing up. There were only three television channels and the only kid’s programming was on Saturday morning. We always played outside until we could hear Mom calling us (not by cell phone but with her hands cupped around her mouth) that it was dinner time Picture Quote #1

There was a docudrama that was made, called ‘The Death Of A Princess,’ which was about a true story in Saudi Arabia. It was about a public execution for adultery. And when the movie was aired on British television, the Saudi government threatened to cut off oil exports and to cut off diplomatic relations Picture Quote #1

The Net is not television. It is the finest direct-marketing mechanism in the history of mankind. It is direct mail with free stamps, and it allows you to create richer and deeper relationships than you’ve ever been able to create before Picture Quote #1

I love directing. I love creating things that I don’t necessarily even have to be in. I like creating worlds. So I’m getting into writing movies and selling movies and television shows and creating worlds that then get to live beyond me Picture Quote #1

The difference between directing film and directing television is so stark simply because TV is a living breathing organism already when you direct an episode Picture Quote #1

Sometimes shutting off the sound on the television can allow you to actually watch the game and take it in in an entirely different and more direct way - a first-order, first-person experience - rather than filtered through the mind of another Picture Quote #1

Because of streaming, serialized television has become less of a dirty word when you’re pitching shows. I had to fight for that for so long as someone who’s always gravitated towards ongoing story lines with characters that evolved and changed and storylines that continued over longer arcs Picture Quote #1

The jokes were perfect! Then George Carlin started talking about the seven dirty words you can’t say on television, then it evolved into social commentary Picture Quote #1

Television is a gift of God, and God will hold those who utilize his divine instrument accountable to him Picture Quote #1

I do not watch television. But I’m in touch with the world. If anything really important happens, someone will tell me Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

Doctor Who’ is not as literary as ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’ is - books have come out, but they are from the television episodes. So there is that difference... it’s more scholastic Picture Quote #1

I’d hate to say, if I wasn’t running, the television networks would be doing less than half the business Picture Quote #1

I certainly do all sorts of work. I’m very, very blessed to do drama and other types of television, and things like that, but I always go back to sci-fi, whenever possible, because that’s really exciting for me Picture Quote #1

You have to be aware of your own shortcomings. The main thing I try not to do is lose my temper. Doing live interviews on television, you learn not to say the first thing that comes into your head Picture Quote #1

Shows don’t reunite because television doesn’t work that way. There’s no profit model and people go off to do other work Picture Quote #1

I’ve worked in television long enough to know that when you stop enjoying that type of thing you go home and do something else Picture Quote #1

I really started acting when I was 12 when I was doing this television show called ‘Jack and Bobby.’ Picture Quote #1

To do a television show, one can be sort of spoiled. You get to have your own trailer, your own space - that sort of thing Picture Quote #1

Mike Wallace’s interviews may make great television, but they don’t produce great evidence Picture Quote #1

I think that what ‘Oz’ did is it spawned a great generation of television production. But people know its place in television and just in great dramas. It’s the foundation of my career. Most producers, show runners, directors, and casting directors put me in movies based on my performance in that show Picture Quote #1

I came out of drama school thinking I’d do some theatre, maybe some television, and maybe, someday, a film Picture Quote #1

I grew up in the theatre. It’s where I got my start. Writing a television drama with theatrical dialogue about the theatre is beyond perfection Picture Quote #1
