The great thing about being on a television show is that it usually provides you with fairly steady income so you can go and do things.
Being on a television show and having so many fans is something that I’ve never experienced before, and it’s really neat when they come up to you and are like, ‘That storyline is amazing and really spoke to me in my life,’ and it’s really cool. I really enjoy it.
Well, I had an immense respect for Cirque du Soleil when I first say them in the ’80s on a television show and just thought, you know, this group is really reinventing the circus, as you know. Because there wasn’t three rings. There were no animals.
Life goes on pretty much the same way. I’ve been working on a couple of films on the side. You may see some more. You may even see another television show.
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got in professional wrestling was use the exposure from cable’s number one rated television show to transition and move on to what you want to go into next.
As a fan, when I hear that a film is going to be turned into a television show, I do go to that place immediately of, ‘Is it going to be any good? Is it going to be a waste of time? Why are they doing it?’ It’s ’12 Monkeys,’ and ’12 Monkeys’ is awesome, so I wanted to be a part of it and work on it.
Anytime a movie or television show retreats into certain American pasts, I’m both annoyed and relieved.
I have to be careful of what TV shows I choose, particularly ones that have commercials in them, because it’s going to be a different kind of television show.
Rick And Morty’ is the most consistently brilliant, densely plotted and enjoyable television show I have ever seen. It’s childish, yet super-clever, without ever being clever-clever.

I went to Bethlehem in Christmas 2015 to do a television show for German TV and we filmed in the Church of the Nativity, literally above the place where Christ was born.
I loved that television show Mad Men because it really was a reminder of what reality was back then.
If you watch a television show made by accomplished professionals of children’s TV, it’s all very expressive.
I completely understand why labels would be a little bit hesitant to sign somebody coming off of a television show, in their first glance.
I had started calling her Lucy shortly after we met; I didn’t like the name Lucille. That’s how our television show was called I Love Lucy, not Lucille.
I had written the script for Juno and apparently Steven Spielberg had read it. I can’t just call him Steven, that’s weird… Mr. Spielberg had read it and he liked it. He asked me if I would write this television show for him and I said, ‘Yeah!’
‘Bonfire’ was kicking around for a very long time. It was an idea I wanted to explore for a television show. Then I was given this weird gift of time when ‘Jessica Jones’ finished season one. I got really organized and just kind of banged it out, but it took a long time. It took two years to even have a first draft.
I am perhaps unusual in that I came to ‘Doctor Who’ through the numerous novelisations and not through the television show.

I have this image in my head of me in the house I grew up in, and hearing this incredible music on the television show, going over to it, and there’s Jon Hendricks, Dave Lambert, and Annie Ross. It knocked me out of my socks, and I’m still in flight.
When you’re shooting a network television show it inevitably starts airing a few episodes in, and depending on the ratings and the response from the public, you find yourself tweaking your performance or the scripts go in a different direction.
I missed the television train at some point. I don’t know what happened, but now I’ve created a complex about it. I’m missing out on what everybody’s watching, and now I can’t even begin to think about starting to watch a television show because it’s been so long. I don’t even have a Netflix account.
I don’t want to sound too bleeding heart, because I know how lucky I’ve been, but I never knew how hard it was to be the lead in a television show.
You don’t get as invested in someone in 90 minutes as you do over 13 hours of television show.
To David Lynch, any film or television show should be life casting a shadow.
I know people always say to get out of your comfort zone and take risks, but when you are on a live national television show, and you are competing to stay on it, then I don’t think you should be uncomfortable up there. I think you should sell it and be your own best self.

My company, Cinema Gypsy, produced a podcast, ‘Bronzeville,’ in conjunction with Larenz Tate and his brothers that we’re developing into a television show. It deals with a very tight-knit African-American community in Chicago in 1947 and people who run a numbers wheel.
