Quote by Chris Pratt

“What's neat about TV is you get really rich, an opportunity to tell really rich stories over the course of 20 hours. Film is cool because it's an hour and a half to two hours. You go on an adventure and by the end it's all cleaned up. Maybe in a franchise you have three chapters of a great story but in TV you can really get deep. You have more time to tell stories so I would definitely not rule out doing television in the future because I think it's a great medium for telling stories.”

“I have seen a lot of men, for example, who will make a will and include their daughters whether they are married or not.

Now that's a very big jump from when I was going to school and educating girls was an exception to the rule.”
