“Some celebrities, it's interesting, because they're fantastic playing a character when somebody is writing the lines for them, and they're amazing actors, but they're not as comfortable on television in front of a live audience and just having a conversation and being themselves.” WritingCharacterActorsLinesInterestingAudienceFrontsTelevisionConversationComfortableFantastic Author:Ellen DeGeneres
“An American has invented a remote control that will turn off any telly within a 20ft radius. What a marvellous device! What a splendid invention!

“The scripts for Marco Polo are absolutely, positively fantastic. The challenge of making that show in China has proved to be as formidable as we feared. It's not like making a movie in China where, once you load up and you leave, you're gone.
