“The idea of being on a show where each season stands alone, and you can come back the next year and show an entirely different aspect of your personality or your talent or your anything is an enormous gift that you rarely get in television.” YearsIdeasDifferentShowsNextTalentTelevisionPersonalityAspectSeasonsEnormousNext YearStand Alone Author:Sarah Paulson
“I just sat there looking at television, sort of dumb and thought how horrible it was. I had -- the grand aspects of it did not occur to me -- I had no notion of this terrorist network that existed. I knew the were a lot of people in the world who didn't like us, but I had no idea that it was as well organized as it apparently is. That's one of the amazing facets of this terrible event: how well they did it. Incredible.

“And when you're with a great crew like we had, it becomes a thrilling, again, collaboration, which is to me one of the great aspects of the process that you go through. I find myself at this point in my career, getting potentially, incredibly bored if I stand around a lot, so that's why I really like the pace of television.” IfsProcessCareersTelevisionAspectBoredCollaborationPaceCrewThrilling Author:Glenn Close
“In a perfect world, there would be no censorship, because there would be no judgement. I find the hypocritical aspect disconcerting, to say the least. We can show people being murdered on television, but I'm not able to say "chickenshit" in public. At the same time, I understand that people are afraid. Because I think censorship is about fear. It's just fear being projected onto art.” PeopleThinkingWorldArtShowsWould BeAblePerfectTelevisionAspectJudgementCensorshipHypocriticalA Perfect World Author:Alanis Morissette

“Television viewership has been declining for a number of years. The internet has been blamed. Everything has been blamed. Except for what I think the problem is: that the networks own the shows, and they completely think that they make them. They don't any longer let the people who make shows just make them. The networks have notes about everything. They are intimately involved in every aspect of the process. And I think it's hurt the process.” PeopleThinkingYearsHas BeensShowsProblemProcessHurtNumbersTelevisionInternetInvolvedAspectNotes Author:Edward Allen Bernero
“Television is interesting, in that the pace is quicker and you can see your work more quickly than with movies. And then, with the added social media aspect, you can access that relationship to the fans directly and you have control of the content of what you say, your perspective, your opinions and your ideas.” IdeasSocialInterestingOpinionFansMediaTelevisionPerspectiveAspectSocial MediaAccessPace Author:Matthew Davis
“Of course you have a duty to show the disfigurations of society as well as its more agreeable aspects. But if TV in the western world uses its freedom continually to show all that is worst in our society, while the centrally controlled television of the Communist world and the dictatorships show only what is judged advantageous to them and suppress everything else, how are the uncommitted to judge between us? How can they fail to misjudge if they view matters only through a distorted mirror?” IfsWorldWellsMatterUseShowsCoursesViewsFailingWorstTelevisionJudgingTvsDutyAspectMirrorsWesternOur SocietyControlledCommunistJudgedDictatorshipWestern WorldUncommitted Author:Margaret Thatcher
“One of the more problematic aspects of the current state of cinema in Japan is that the movies playing in the theaters are by and large made not by film studios but by broadcasting companies. They're either extensions of popular television dramas or adaptations of manga or anime. Younger Japanese are simply not being exposed to good films. That situation needs to change.” NeedsMadeStatesFilmCompanySituationTelevisionDramaAspectTheaterCurrentsStudiosCinemaJapanExposedExtensionsAdaptationNeed A ChangeBroadcastingGood FilmsAnimeTelevision Drama Author:Hirokazu Koreeda
“I wasn't able to articulate it until after audience members gave feedback. And then, similarly, when we talked about the bromance being unique, I don't think Mark, Jay, and I really saw how special that aspect of that bromance was until our audience members sort of gave us feedback and let us know, "Hey, we've never seen a bromance like this before on television."” ThinkingKnowsAbleAudienceSawsSpecialTelevisionMembersUniqueAspectMarkHeyFeedbackBeing UniqueBromance Author:Steve Zissis
