Television shows and movies that are all white, I can’t watch them. They totally alienate me.
People should buy a house to live in, not as an investment. Property has become such a national obsession – it was the primary subject at dinner parties and how many television shows were dedicated to the market. It’s not good for the economy.
It is great to add some glamour to the food industry, like television shows have done for the food world and inspiring people to work in the industry. The flip side of that is unfortunately people think that after they get their qualifications, they get their invitation to compete on ‘Top Chef.’
I worked in television; I’m the Failed Pilot Queen, I’ve done so many television shows, pilots, theater … when you do it for so long, I’m telling you, you get to the point where it becomes varied because you take what’s available for a number of reasons. It’s just an occupational hazard.
I was almost as famous at Indiana for my television shows as I was my coaching. That’s kind of embarrassing when you think about it.
We met and married when both of us knew exactly what our jobs were. He was only 32, but he’d been all over the place. I’d been working on films and television shows all over the world.
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.
I think, very often, little girls look at these teen television shows and think, ‘I have to have a boyfriend because Blair Waldorf has a boyfriend, and she’s always fighting over boys!’
If you believe that your thoughts originate inside your brain, do you also believe that television shows are made inside your television set?
Many of the network television shows have done takeoffs on ‘Family Circus,’ including ‘David Letterman,’ ‘Friends,’ ‘Roseanne,’ and others, and, in my estimation the use of them is a compliment to the popularity of the feature, which just by mentioning it’s name sets up the image of a warm, loving family-type feature.
I would really like to do a movie. Schedule-wise I don’t know when exactly, but I think it would be great to do a Portlandia movie. Some of my favorite television shows have done it and they’ve been great. Like Monty Python. I think it would be great.
I’ve done great theatre, great films and had a lot of opportunities in television. I also love to sing, and I’ve been able to do that once or twice in the television shows.
I started judging a few television shows, making appearances at functions or cutting ribbons because it was convenient for me. It also gave me quick and good money. Now, when I look back, I feel those assignments ruined me as an actress.
Yes, it’s a very difficult thing to do, to promote a record, do television shows, and to still want to remain private, it’s really quite difficult to explain to people what you’re trying to do. I mean I’d actually quite like to be a recluse, but you know, you’ve got to promote the record as well.
There’s just something, maybe it’s the authenticity. I think that’s the appeal and why people choose to watch really unpolished and unprofessional videos on YouTube over these multi-million dollar television shows.
It’s a curious thing about celebrity: being somebody who was one of the stars of one of the most popular television shows in history offers an opportunity. I look at it as an ambassadorial opportunity at times, where I can go to places and have the opportunity to do things and meet people that other people don’t have.
In this business, there is an insane amount of pressure, spoken and unspoken, to be thin. If you look at some of the television shows, eating disorders become like a competitive thing.
I read a lot of bad scripts and weird television shows. I don’t know. There’s a lot of work out there I was reading at 14 years old and noticing this lack of thought. And then, reading ‘Afterschool,’ that’s full of thought. It was bursting with ideas.
First and foremost, I’m a decorator and product designer. Everything I do, the television shows, the books, that comes from the design work. It’s what I love.
Most television shows are going to require an actor sign up from four to six years, but an anthology show really amounts to five or six months at the most. I thought serious actors might be attracted to that.
I would like to host a show, something like travel or cooking or something like that, something I’m really interested in, and so I’m pitching a couple television shows.
I have been offered films as well, but it’s better to do good television shows rather than a small role in a film.
Since writing JAWS, I’ve been lucky enough to do close to forty television shows about wildlife in the oceans, and yes, I have been attacked by sea creatures once in a while.
I loved Garry Marshall. The television shows he created in the ’80s were the most deeply important entertainment of my childhood.
While the notion that torture works has been glorified in television shows and movies, the simple truth is this: torture has never been an effective interrogation method.
I do realize that television shows end.
I don’t know if I’m going to be a manager forever. I don’t know if I’m going to be producing films or television shows.
I have gotten a number of invitations to be on television shows as ‘the dad,’ but that was Kryptonite to me. I was like, ‘This would be the death of me. I’ll be a cesspool of niceness.’ It doesn’t feed me.
American television, for all its faults, still has a black presence in shows and even in commercials. You’ll see black people in automobile ads, black women starring on their own television shows. We don’t see that on British television.
The reality television shows are a big hit with the masses with their Bollywood songs. Even if these TV shows are scripted, people are watching them.
It’s interesting, even in popular culture, in our vernacular now, the whole idea of ‘fake news.’ You hear it repeated on scripted television shows, on reality shows, you just see it everywhere, even in other countries.
I think modern television shows, with their intricate plots, are stimulating our minds. This is one reason IQs have been going up.
I feel like it’s extremely rare to find a female who’s bisexual and not either lesbian or straight on television shows.
When you watch television shows, as good as they are, like ‘Joan of Arcadia’ and ‘Touched by an Angel,’ everything is this kind of mishmash of faith but not any specific religion.
I feel that ‘Person of Interest’ is the same quality as ‘Brotherhood.’ I think it’s one of the smartest network television shows on the air today. The audience is a wide range of individuals.
You can be in Ohio and shoot your own web series, if you want. If this had been around when I was in high school, I can guarantee you that my friends and I would have been shooting our own television shows and putting them online and trying to get as many hits as possible.
‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ I did an episode on, and that’s one of my favorite television shows ever, and there are these shows that I watch so regularly.
Have four things going. I have stand-up comedy, two television shows and I’m working on a play. I like to work, and I fear that something could fall through. You know what they say: ‘The show must go off.’
A studio that’s designed to make television shows is not a studio designed to make a fashion line, so a lot of times, we have ideas for things we might want to do but don’t necessarily have the infrastructure to do them in a timely manner.
Now that I work as a professional model, I advise people to stay away from any television shows. It’s a waste of your time; it’s just entertainment. It’s not the fashion that we now know.
Yes, it’s a very difficult thing to do, to promote a record, do television shows, and to still want to remain private, it’s really quite difficult to explain to people what you’re trying to do. I mean I’d actually quite like to be a recluse, but you know, you’ve got to promote the record as well.
You amp things up and you speed things up, but technically, you can still be legally correct. This is the big beef I have with novels as well as television shows – it actually makes for a better show when you accommodate the truth.
I think modern television shows, with their intricate plots, are stimulating our minds. This is one reason IQs have been going up.
I just don’t think you can lump television shows together.
It’s a massive consumer frustration around the world about how long they have to wait after the U.S. to see television shows and movies. In the U.S., there’s the frustration of having to wait a year to watch a movie in the format that you choose.
In this business, there is an insane amount of pressure, spoken and unspoken, to be thin. If you look at some of the television shows, eating disorders become like a competitive thing.
I not only hope that YouTube channels compete with television shows for viewers and revenue, I hope they develop a bitter rivalry which could only be settled by an elaborate medieval tournament where the two entities fight to the death in a steel cage.
I have never made money selling records. I have never really made money touring, either, or with merchandise, surprisingly. But I do make money by just having my songs in the background of television shows or in commercials or movie trailers. That’s been really good.
