Tv Quotes

Television for a child creates such a high bar of stimulus that nothing else competes. A beautiful day is absolute crap to a kid who watches tv Picture Quote #1

For a long time, TV was just the land of handsome, beautiful people, and now it’s the opposite Picture Quote #1

I have new bodyguards ever since I got a TV show. I didn’t know, but it’s a lot like becoming president. They tell you every single secret, like who shot JFK. When you have a TV show, they not only tell you who shot JFK, but they assign you bodyguards Picture Quote #1

You never see a child die from education on TV. But make no mistake about it: children die from lack of education all the time. Children without an education are more likely to grow up to have HIV/AIDS. They’re more likely to die in infancy or before the age of five Picture Quote #1

Writing a TV show is totally different than writing features, or just, what I started doing is writing features. You write a little bit more organically. You start from the beginning to the end, beginning, middle and end Picture Quote #1

With a film, you know the beginning, middle and end of your character’s arc. But on a TV show, you have no idea where they’re going to end up Picture Quote #1

As a writer, you’re really in control of almost everything. That’s not the case in TV. You have to be prepared to work with a lot of people to make something happen, and you got to be prepared, at least in the beginning, to not be too good at your specific task Picture Quote #1

Hermes rolled his eyesSurely you’ve seen network TV lately. It’s clear they don’t know whether they’re coming or going. That’s because Janus is in charge of programming. He loves ordering new shows and cancelling them after two episodes. God of beginnings and endings, after all. Anyway, I was bringing him some magic doormats, and I was double-parked-You have to worry about double-parking?Will you let me tell the story?Sorry Picture Quote #1

It’s been cool to see on the Voice all these up-and-coming artists from all over the country just develop and follow their careers as well, because we were all at a beginning point together. Now, after seeing the business side and behind-the-scenes stuff, it’s hard for me to watch reality TV and play along like they want you to Picture Quote #1

The good part of working in TV is it’s like being a studio director in old Hollywood and approaching different genres. It’s a chance to try out different styles Picture Quote #1

When I was starting out, doing guest spots on TV, and even commercials, I would go in with a whole crazy wardrobe and some terrible accent. Obviously, I was doing too much. If you bring too much flavor to it, it’s absurd. There’s something to just being spontaneous Picture Quote #1

After being on the court for six hours, being on TV is very glamorous and fun for me. But tennis is always going to be my priority. It’s not going to be this thing when all of a sudden TV will get in the way of that Picture Quote #1

I’m not a reality TV star. I pride myself on witnessing, watching people, studying people, and being able to recreate that and create a human being Picture Quote #1

I think you can be tough and aggressive with facts in a way that you cannot be tough and aggressive with emotional retorts. Most of the people that try to be tough on TV are really just being emotional and not factual Picture Quote #1

I want to be an example of a guy who made something of himself out of nothing. A guy who overcame the odds of a tough childhood, who worked hard, who didn’t let his surroundings get the best of him and lead him to jail or the graveyard. Where I ended up - being a comedian, a TV star, and a movie actor - might be unique, but my story is not Picture Quote #1

As anyone who has read ‘Sports Illustrated’s Steve Rushin knows, it’s quite possible to write an unreadable column without being a TV pundit. But if you want to be a consistently good columnist, you can’t be on television Picture Quote #1

In TV writing, I felt like Gulliver being tied down by the Lilliputians. There’s so much more freedom in fiction writing Picture Quote #1

It was easy being healthy when I was young. I was full of energy, so sports and physical challenges were fun. But as I got older and the spring left my step, exercise became harder, and eating, drinking and watching TV became easier. By the time I was 50, I’d put on 50 pounds Picture Quote #1

That’s the easiest job you can have in TV comedy, being the guy who just delivers the funny Picture Quote #1

I formed my own studio, carried my own deficits, owned one-hundred percent of my negatives, and made a lot of mistakes, but we ended up being the third largest TV studio in Hollywood Picture Quote #1

I think everybody’s contemplating TV now, because mid-level and high-budget independent films are not being made now Picture Quote #1

Being in TV is insane. The notes you get sometimes, I just don’t understand them Picture Quote #1

They see me as being this Super Mom on TV who also can more than handle a difficult husband, and they assume I’m going to be just full of wisdom as a mother and wife myself Picture Quote #1

I just...I’ve fantasized about peace and quiet for so long, dreamt about being left alone...but when the TV was off, and the sun was down...I’m in a full sob right now. I’ve just never felt so alone, and I couldn’t take it Picture Quote #1

When I first started working on ‘Secret Diary,’ I definitely felt like I needed to shape up. The idea of being in my knickers on TV was a great incentive! Now I try to eat right, and I go to Bikram yoga three or four times a week. I have my ‘naughty’ days, and I indulge in pizza and cake, but so what! Picture Quote #1

When I was 11 years old, I was bullied. It mainly started when I moved to California to pursue my dreams of being an actress. Kids back home in Texas, who I thought were my friends, were saying things behind my back. They said that I would never make it because I wasn’t talented or pretty enough to be on TV Picture Quote #1

I don’t want my president to be a TV star. You don’t have to be on television every minute of every day - you’re the president, not a rerun of ‘Law and Order’. TV stars are too worried bout being popular and too concerned about being renewed Picture Quote #1

My mum thought my TV and film addiction was laziness. If you’re an immigrant, you know you’ll never be an accepted part of society, but you hope your children will be, and you try to make them essential to the community in a practical way - being a doctor or a lawyer. Acting was beyond their comprehension Picture Quote #1

Being REAL means showing people who you are underneath all the TV make up too Picture Quote #1

It took me a long time to make that leap to being a grown-up and responsible adult because I carried on being a child actor into my late twenties. It’s OK to be precocious when you’re young, but when you’re a man of about 27 or 28 and playing a 17-year-old in a TV show, it kind of prolongs your childhood Picture Quote #1
