I'm able to do my television projects and movie projects that I really want to explore. For me, it's not about the money, it's not about the fame. I love creating.
Is it really that important? It's just television, for God's sake. It's not medicine or something.
I prefer theater and film. I did a little television, and obviously I'm not knocking it. It can be great, and it does pay the bills. But it's a little bit more disjointed.
Theater is a lot more interactive, more of a cohesive unit. With television, it can be a different director every episode.
It's a good thing I was born in this century, when superfluous television seems to be part of the economy.
The nightmare is you spend the rest of your life being funny at parties and then people say, 'Why didn't you do that when you were on television?'
Big night of television tonight for Barack Obama. Earlier tonight, Barack Obama aired a half-hour infomercial to attract more voters. Yeah. Yeah, and apparently, if you watched the entire infomercial, Barack threw in a free set of Ginsu knives for you.
It's a mistake to read. Television is the only way.
MSNBC has abruptly ended their relationship with Keith Olbermann, and according to his contract he's not allowed back on television for at least six months. Or as industry experts call it, The Conan.
People always feel like there's a big split between TV and films: I'm a television actress, I'm a film actress. Maybe that's how it was but I feel like there's not that separation anymore. And actors are able to kind of flow between both worlds - and connect to both audiences.
Television is simultaneously blamed, often by the same people, for worsening the world and for being powerless to change it.
If I ever had any vanity, then I definitely lost it by being on television. It doesn't do you any favours in terms of showing you what you look like and what your emotions are.
If I ever had any vanity, then I definitely lost it by being on television.
Television lets audiences deeply connect with characters.
I actually haven't been approached a whole lot for television, believe it or not.
The rules have changed so dramatically.They are not the Jeb Bush rules of the 90s, they are the reality television rules of this decade and he was not suited for it.
I work from a deep sense of insecurity. I have the belief, and I can't shake it, that there are endless reasons to turn the channel. There are hundreds of channels and entirely other things to do besides TV. And if you make a bad television show there's no reason for the audience to come back the following week.
Prior to the early 20th century, for the totality of humankind's existence if they saw something moving, it meant it was there. If they saw a tiger walking, that meant they were near a live tiger. This was entrenched in our subconscious and our unconscious.Then that drastically changed with film and television.
I've made quite a number of movies that I've never even seen and I've made some movies that I thought were good that nobody saw... Sometimes they end up on television.
I know that even now, having watched enough television, you probably won't even refer to them as lepers so as to spare their feelings. You probably call them 'parts-dropping-off challenged' or something.
We've come under the influence of television, where in all honesty we can follow a show that could just get cancelled midway through the season and the entire plotline never resolves itself.
Television really does offer still great parts for women, cable in particular.
In television and films, you never know the fate of anything. Focusing on the present moment - not getting so caught up on what could happen - that's been my biggest focus. Everything's happening seemingly at once.
You make a choice whether or not to turn that TV on. We didn't even have a television in the house
It almost feels like a movie or a- I know it's been said many times - that cable television is the new novel kind of thing - but it does feel like that.
