Telly Quotes

I like making films about old people because they are repositories of amazing stories that they tell well. And they’re incredibly good telly Picture Quote #1

I never thought I’d be one of those old hams who favours theatre over everything, but I’m getting that way. Telly and film seemed more fun when I was younger; turning left on planes and washing up in nice places. But there are things that you only learn in theatre Picture Quote #1

It takes time and energy, and if I`m working, then I`d rather flop in front of the telly than put on a tiny dress and work out how to get myself to God knows where. I mean, lazy some would call it Picture Quote #1

You know when you get into that thing where people want to discuss the relationship? I'd rather discuss what was on telly, avoid the issue, discuss anything other than the relationship Picture Quote #1

And the druids, they were into sex and death in an interesting night-time telly sort of way Picture Quote #1

I haven’t really got much get up and go. I can’t believe I’m on the telly. I’m so lazy Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t want to leave it so long before doing a play again, I get very stolid and sluggish if I do too much telly Picture Quote #1

I guess they have to label someone the sexiest person in the world, and it is always someone who is on telly even if it’s the weatherman. For a couple of years it was me and then it was someone else. It’s nicer being the sexiest man than the most ugly man. I live with it, and I don’t mind it, but I don’t go around with a big smile on my face everyday Picture Quote #1

I never did that badly with women when I wasn’t on telly, but it’s a bit out of control now. Women try it on with me more than I’m comfortable with. It’s strange, because I think I look like a troll wearing a woman’s wig backwards Picture Quote #1

I’ve got a very peculiar sort of fame, based on being on the telly. It doesn’t mean you have the lifestyle people expect Picture Quote #1

Where I get bored is when I show up for a shoot and they want me to wear a feather boa. Too obvious a thing for a poof on the telly to do Picture Quote #1

All my interesting stories are from before I was on television. Nothing interesting has happened to me since then. Maybe it’s because the most interesting thing in my life is the show and that’s on telly Picture Quote #1

I’m really visually stimulated more than anything. I don’t really listen to music. I’m more into watching telly or watching movies and visual art Picture Quote #1

I did four or five years in telly, and by the end of it was drained. I was a bit sick of myself. I didn’t feel like an actor anymore. That sounds silly, but when you’re doing a play you’re using different muscles, and it blew all the cobwebs away Picture Quote #1

The best job was when I was at drama school and I cleaned flats in the Barbican. I loved it. They were spotless anyway, so you’d just watch the telly and flick a duster around Picture Quote #1

For me, a bit of anthropology in the evening is always better than staying and watching the telly Picture Quote #1

Telly and films has been my thing, not necessarily by choice, and if the right piece of theatre came along, I would jump at it Picture Quote #1

I hate the idea that I have to represent any particular section of society; I just write good telly, that’s all Picture Quote #1

Well, I’ve got a color telly, and a fridge. I’ve got some pork chops in the fridge, but the chops keep going off, so I have to keep buying more Picture Quote #1

I don’t watch much telly, the telly hardly goes on, but the things I do watch are sort of nature programs, and something about the oceans and the amount of weird fish that’s in there Picture Quote #1

I think there’s a far more general audience now because I’ve done more populist stuff on telly Picture Quote #1

At twenty life was like wrestling an octopus. Every moment mattered. At thirty it was a walk in the country. Most of the time your mind was somewhere else. By the time you got to seventy, it was probably like watching snooker on the telly Picture Quote #1

When I got a telly we had no aerial, but I discovered that if I or one of the children stood by it you could get a picture. So I had to make a statue that could stand by the telly Picture Quote #1

I thought they were staring at me because I was gay. But it was because I was on the telly Picture Quote #1

Alpine skiers look like their feet are stuck in cement. Telly skiing is about mobility, rhythm, and balance Picture Quote #1

It's about good copy and ensuring that cases can be made into top-notch documentaries on the telly. Public approval is the all-important currency these days, and police budgets ebb and flow on the back of circulation and viewing figures Picture Quote #1

But I quite like that the public has a very short attention span. If I haven’t been on telly for a little bit, I can sense it. People don’t take as much notice of you, it’s really quite palpable Picture Quote #1
