You know, when we were kids, we had to go to a theater to see a movie. And then television came in and you had to wait until midnight to see the one you wanted to see. Now, all you've got to do is go to a store and buy it and you can watch it whenever you want!
John Zorn

Rather than disliking theatre, I've expressed a preference for television because it tends to deal in its small way much more with issues and is able to reach a broader church of people than theatre.
Christopher Eccleston

Television broadcasts have, in the main, been more suggestive, less specific, more distant in their images than the print press: often you knew that lump was a dead body only because a chattering reporter told you it was.
Bruce Jackson

In television, everything is gone with the speed of light, literally. It is no field for anybody with intimations of immortality.
Charles Kuralt

You know what I want? The answer is, I truly don't know what I want. I don't want to do a television series. I want to do dramas as well as comedies, but I have no idea what kind or in what order. Just give me the chance at them.
Michael J. Fox

Late night television is ready for someone like me... standards have gone to an all-time low.
Howard Stern

We were a Western civilisation, an English speaking civilisation, both NZ and Australia, and we had all these influences coming from both Great Britain and America to us; sending us their culture in the shape and form of movies and television.
Richard O'Brien

By ignoring a lot of American culture you can write more interesting stories. Unfortunately, if you were writing about America as it is, you'd be writing about a lot of people sitting in front of television sets.
Richard Russo

I just always had a love for television and movies.
Bruce Boxleitner

Isn't television glamourous?
Adam Savage

There have been two Geraldo Riveras through his long career. One of them was a reporter who has done some remarkable work. The other was a television show host who did what it took to get an audience.
Brit Hume

Television is an instrument which can paralyze this country.
William Westmoreland

I think everyone who makes movies should be forced to do television. Because you have to finish. You have to get it done, and there are a lot of decisions made just for the sake of making decisions. You do something because it's efficient and because it gets the story told and it connects to the audience.
Joss Whedon

It felt like being in the center of the world, and I felt like I was a witness to history and I knew that the whole world was watching on television. So, I could feel the collective consciousness of the world focused on this little strip of land called Seattle.
Krist Novoselic

Time is money, as they say, and it was never more apropos than on a television show, where a minute is worth about $200!
Dirk Benedict

In television, the audience has to be comfortable with you, and I've managed to prove that I can be in American homes to some degree, and not necessarily where everyone knows me, either.
Bruce Boxleitner

I think film and television are really a director's medium, whereas theatre is the actor's medium.
Christopher Eccleston

The threat to free television. The reason television is free is because it is a life support system for commercials. That fundamental aspect is about to change.
Dick Wolf

If you're going to vote on a television contract, there is a certain rationality to saying that the same structures that are applied to Health Plan participation should be placed on the right to vote on a strike.
Dick Wolf

I don't think you can really make television based on what you think audiences want. You can only make stories that you like, because you have to watch it so many times.
Dick Wolf
