Especially in television, when you do visual effects, what you’re predominantly doing is trying to add value to TV shows that otherwise don’t have any.
The more I learned about real pirates, the more exciting they seemed to me. They appeared to be even more dramatic than pirates of the movies or TV shows.
I want to be choosy, because one has to invest a lot of time in TV shows.
As an actor, as much as I’m interested in how you make movies and TV shows, even as a kid, I’ve always hated making of featurettes and special features on DVDs. I think it breaks the spell.
There are a handful of talented individuals that are always going to do a better job. If you look at the amount of TV shows or movies, there’s only a handful that rise to the top.
Real life is hard. I’m sorry, but shopping at Tesco is not as much fun as writing jokes for TV shows, and I struggle with it.
Film is a lot different. You have the whole script in its entirety, and you have a couple of weeks to learn different scenes, really go over them and rehearse them so when you get to them they’re more fleshed out. But TV shows are harder.
I watch a TV show called ‘Shark Tank.’ It’s one of my favorite TV shows. It’s basically self-made millionaires who have either come up with their own business or clothing… I came up with the idea of designing clothes.
Before deciding to retire, stay home for a week and watch the daytime TV shows.
The problem with me and TV shows is once I start watching them, I have to watch them all because I’m so impatient. I need the entire series to be on TV, and then I’ll sit all day and watch the entire thing. So I did that with ‘Homeland,’ and I did that with ‘Veep.’
I used to suffer from stage fright, which at times was an ordeal. I won’t perform live again. I’m going to do some TV shows and videos but nothing else… I don’t like to travel too much or do concerts. I’m more of a studio and home girl.
In terms of TV shows, if you’re a public figure, we’ve all been asked to do some sort of ridiculous show at some stage.
I must say, I always – from experience, when I watch TV shows and I see characters leave without a proper explanation or leave with not enough time, I get irritated. I like it when there’s a clean-cut reason or a defining moment where they have to go. Whether that’s death or not, I think that’s subjective.
I was on some TV shows with Lady Gaga the other week, and you could see the difference in reaction between her fans and my fans outside. She comes out, and she looks like a star, and the reaction is just tears, crying, people going, ‘Oh my God, Oh my God.’ My fans are like: ‘Alright, Ed.’
This whole thing about reality television to me is really indicative of America saying we’re not satisfied just watching television, we want to star in our own TV shows. We want you to discover us and put us in your own TV show, and we want television to be about us, finally.
I’ve gotten approached like, ‘Oh, you’re the girl that’s on Twitter’ or ‘You’re the girl who was in the meme.’ It’s funny that sometimes people don’t really know me from my TV shows.
The really great thing about having two TV shows going on at the same time is that I can go to one and say that I have to go and visit the other, and then I can just go home, and they don’t know.
I don’t see coming down to London and talking to people and making TV shows as real work. The only reason I do it is because they keep coming up with decent ideas.
In my business, you have so many things going at once – TV shows, projects, movies – and sometimes, things never actually come to fruition.
Well I’ve obviously been a guest on most TV shows and spoken a little bit and that but I got the call to stand in for Paul O’Grady when he was off.
I don’t have much time for TV shows, but if I did, I’d watch ‘Seinfeld’ reruns.
‘Vogue’ has a history of picking up on various TV shows that reflect a moment in popular culture, whether it’s putting Lena Dunham on the cover or Sarah Jessica Parker.
What they say about TV shows is true. You’re really a family. You laugh, you fight, you get close, you know? Movies are shorter. They’re over quicker. You don’t form the same bonds.
My day job is making TV shows.
There’s sort of a very symbiotic thing that happens on good TV shows with great writers, which is that they start to sort of embrace who the actors are and try to make the roles more specific to what they bring and what they can do.
Most of the time, I don’t think movies of TV shows are a great idea. It’s worked a few times, but usually, I think that what’s on TV works on TV.
These 24-hour gyms are a blessing and super convenient. For actors doing daily TV shows, we have to stay in shape.
I think ‘The Big Bang Theory’ is one of the greatest written TV shows of all time.
You’re only famous in the eyes of others. Inside, you’re still the same, and not a hundred million records or TV shows can change that. I think the only pitfall of fame is believing that it means something, and behaving like that.
I had already played a lead on Broadway before I ever did a film. I had had three, four seasons of stock with good, fat parts, good supporting and leading parts. And I had done, oh, God, over 400 live TV shows.
When I was in school, I was always writing scripts and dressing up as characters. I’d constantly be that guy who’d get up on stage. I used to write imaginary TV shows, like soap operas, for fun.
I’ve been offered guest spots on the TV shows ‘Walker, Texas Ranger’ and ‘Martial Law,’ along with others.
I am a fan of Pakistani TV shows and the simplistic way in which they are made.
Mail is processed. It arrives at Paramount Studios! It’s sorted, and a pile is brought to the production offices for each of the TV shows shot there. That mail is sorted so that each actor gets his letters. A pile is placed in his dressing room.
Many TV shows will create characters where you get a sense of who they are, but they’re just the bad guy out to find you and you don’t know why because there’s no tone or dimension there.
I’ve always loved English and loved English music and TV shows.
When I open many books, or most leading women’s magazines, or see almost all TV shows, I don’t find myself at all. I am completely anonymous. My value system is not there.
I had played many gay characters before, but they were finite – guest characters in TV shows or characters in plays.
I’m interested in producing more TV shows.
I’ve been so involved with TV shows, I’ve been unavailable for films, which is my dream.
I’m looking to produce more stuff: TV shows, commercials, music videos and short films. I’m building my catalog so I can have some fun in between the times that I get to a movie.
Part of the fun is finding out how elastic that box is and, you know, test the limits of what TV shows can do or what a music video can do.
I had been offered other shows, before ‘Meri Awaaz…’ but honestly, the very thought of long and grueling working hours of TV shows gave me a cold feet.
Some people say I sound Australian. I guess it’s all down to Miss Matthews, who taught me English when I was growing up in Dar es Salaam. Nearly everyone in Denmark speaks English, and TV shows are only ever subtitled, not dubbed.
I’m not a big fan of reality TV shows.
Groceries, TV shows, and shoes are a few categories Amazon has been willing to hang onto for years.
I think that for the most part, black people specifically have sort of been used as props in TV shows as a way to move story along or as a way to make things more entertaining.
I’m much more used to the TV shows, which are demanding to write and perform but very fulfilling.
Yeah, my dad was in the foreign service. We lived in India, Indonesia and Africa, and we traveled a lot from those places. I was 10 when we moved back, and I felt like the odd guy out. It wasn’t until later that I appreciated it. But coming back I didn’t know any TV shows or music, which was even worse.
If a hit came along, I wouldn’t be unhappy about that. But I’m a bit too old for that now-doing videos and all those types of TV shows. I’ve kind of done all that, in the ’70s.
When I grew up in the ’80s, all of my favorite TV shows always had these great openings, and it always got me excited.
If we give people the ability to buy a lot more because they can store a lot more, for a company that creates TV shows and movies, that’s fantastic.
I want to have a go at presenting. As a child I was always filming my own TV shows with my sister, so it feels natural to me.
Comedians who are 22 years old can certainly be funny and clever, and be capable of telling jokes – but are they talking about their favorite TV shows, or a particular brand of shampoo?
I’ve been donating all the money I earn from the TV shows to a charitable trust.
The movies and TV shows I like to watch tend to put their characters in situations where they have to dig deeper.
I’m a voracious reader. I also have a ton of favorite TV shows I’m addicted to.
I love playing live, and doing big TV shows are exciting.
I am a little suspicious of industry paradigms. I feel like so many movies and TV shows feel so familiar because of over-reliance on these paradigms.
One of the things I’ve learned by working on the ‘Walking Dead’ and other TV shows is to be more tolerant of other people’s process.
