Without TV, it's hard to know when one day ends and another begins.
I couldn't survive just doing independent movies. And I'd rather do modelling than movies or TV I didn't like.
My only experience with dances was what I had seen on TV, but it really wasn’t that far off. The theme appeared to be “Crepe Paper in the Gymnasium,” and they had mastered it perfectly.
Horror audiences don't need to see some TV actor they're familiar with.
You can either watch TV or you can make TV.
TV is not a baby sitter.
I'm completely done with reality TV.
The reality of any location in Britain being used in a TV program of a film is that something bad is going to happen! That's the nature of drama. Most of the things that get made or basically grisly detective shows about murders, accidents or medical dramas.
I don't watch a lot of reality TV.
One of the things that's really fun to tap in with television right now is this sort of explosion, the peak TV moment that we're in, people are exploring different modes of storytelling here. But one of the exciting things here is being able to commit upfront to a big, big, big story.
If you go on TV and say there's no other country in the world where you can be born poor and become rich, you get a huge megaphone. If you tell the truth, which is that most of the studies show actually the United States is worse than anybody except Britain in upward mobility, there is no audience for you.
All I'm saying is that it's shortsighted to blame TV. It's simply another symptom. TV didn't invent our aesthetic childishness here any more than the Manhattan Project invented aggression.
Surely it wasn't possible that Vin diPietro was the first assignment. "Hello?" DiPietro waved. "You in there?" Nah, Jim thought. Can't be. That would be above and beyond any call of duty. Over the guy's shoulder, the commercial that was on the TV suddenly showed a price of $49. 99-no, $29. 99, with a little red arrow that. . . considering where Vin was standing, poined right at his head. "Sh*t, no" Jim muttered. This was the guy? On the Tv screen, some woman in a pink bathrobe smiled up at the camera and mouthed, Yes, it is!
Reality TV, although I'm a part of it, I think reality TV is a terrible thing.
In my early thirties I was working in television as a researcher. I was really stuck for a period of five years. I got to TV when I was thirty. I hated being a music writer, and kept wondering why I couldn't be doing the exciting things that my friends were doing in television.
Maybe now it's time to take some chances on TV and push the boundaries with what I can do on television.
Magazines, books, novels, TV, internet, movies - all of those things is what creates our consciousness.
People are aware of what I stand for through television. Nobody gets rich on TV but you build brand. That's what I'm attempting to do.
You cant get a contemporary story about what is going on inside government, and how society sees itself, on American TV.
Doing TV is great, but TV is for starring on, not for watching.
