“See, I don't watch reality television anymore. I watched a little bit of it for awhile, but I found it turned my soul into a black sludge, and I just did not find it healthy or good for me at all, because I would watch it and be disgusted, disgusted.” LittlesSoulRealityFoundBitsBlackWatchesTelevisionHealthyLittle BitMy SoulDisgustedReality Television Author:Martha Plimpton
“It used to be that you kind of got pigeonholed into one thing - you're either a stage actor or a TV actor or a movie actor. Today, there's a lot of crossover with film actors doing television, which never happened before, so those lines are a little bit more blurred than they used to be.” KindLittlesTodayFilmUsedActorsBitsLinesHappenedOne ThingStageTelevisionTvsLittle BitUsed To BeCrossoverMovie ActorsFilm ActorsStage Actors Author:Aaron Tveit

“Ratings to me are a little like the Chinese Government. I don't fully understand what makes a rating go.

“Well, English is no problem for me because I am actually English. My whole family are English; I was brought up listening to various forms of the English accent. Obviously there are more specific ones that get a little bit tricky. Same with American stuff. But because in Australia we're so inundated with American culture, television, this that and the other, everyone in Australia can do an American accent.

“When you think of painting as painting it is rather absurd. The real world is before us - glorious sunlight and activity and fresh air, and high speed motor cars and television, all the animation - a world apart from a little square of canvas that you smear paint on.” ThinkingWorldLittlesRealAirCarTelevisionPaintingActivityPaintSpeedAbsurdGloriousReal WorldSquaresSunlightCanvasAnimationMotorFresh AirHigh SpeedWorlds ApartMotor Cars Author:Wayne Thiebaud
“The relative ease of most driving lures us into thinking we can get away with doing other things. Indeed, those other things, like listening to the radio, can help when driving itself is threatening to cause fatigue. But we buy into the myth of multitasking with little actual knowledge of how much we can really add in or, as with the television news, how much we are missing. As the inner life of the driver begins to come into focus, it is becoming clear not only that distraction is the single biggest problem on the road but that we have little concept of just how distracted we are.” ThinkingLittlesHelpingProblemCausesClearFocusMissingTelevisionListeningBecomingNewsConceptsAddRadioMythDrivingEaseGet AwayDriversDistractionRelativeThreateningFatigueDistractedInner LifeLureMultitaskingMulti TaskingTelevision News Author:Tom Vanderbilt

“I would say my being disheartened has more to do with American culture than anything else. We are becoming a very shallow culture. My goodness, the celebrity ethos has taken over completely. Turn on the television and you see that over and over. There's very little substance. And so, everything gets shorter. Everything is entertainment oriented. Our churches reflect that. A thirty-five minute sermon without a Power Point or video clips is rare these days. That's not true in other countries so much.” LittlesCountryTurnsCultureChurchTakenFiveMinutesTelevisionBecomingGoodnessEntertainmentVideoThese DaysSubstanceThirtyOther CountriesShallowSermonsFive MinutesAmerican CultureTurn-onEthosClipDisheartenedVideo Clips Author:Philip Yancey
“When I was 9, I saw a wrestler on television named Gorgeous George. He said, "I'm beautiful. I'm so pretty that if a sucker touches my face, I'll kill him. If he messes with my hair, I'll pummel him." I said to myself, "That's a good idea. I am the greatest, I'm pretty." And then I took it a little further than he did.” IfsLittlesSaidIdeasBeautifulFacesSawsTelevisionHairMessGood IdeasGorgeousSuckerWrestler Author:Muhammad Ali
