“I was only allowed only to watch public television until I was 12 years old. I would come home from friends's houses with a list of demands. 'OK, We have all the wrong cereals.

“The President has so much good publicity potential that hasn't been exploited. He should just sit down one day and make a list of all the things that people are embarrassed to do that they shouldn't be embarrassed to do, and then do them all on television.” PeopleShouldPresidentTelevisionOne DayListsEmbarrassedPublicity Book:The Philosophy of Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again Source: The Philosophy of Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again
“It [TV] is the cancer of film. It's why people can't be educated to film. In the late '60s, we expected to see a movie or two every week and be stimulated, excited and inspired. And we did. Every week after week. Antonioni, Goddard, Truffaut - this endless list of people. And then comes television and home video. I know how to work exactly for the big screen, but it doesn't matter what I think about the art of movie-making versus TV.” PeopleThinkingKnowsArtTwoMatterHomeBigsFilmKnow HowWeekTelevisionTvsLateInspiredCancerExcitedExpectedScreensListsEndlessVideoEducatedVersusBig ScreenMovie MakingHome Videos Author:Jack Nicholson
“As a kid I watched the Academy Awards on television and always wanted one - or several - like one of my favorite directions, John Ford. He won six. On the other hand, Orson Welles, who's on the top of my list, didn't win any. Alfred Hitchcock didn't win any. Howard Hawks didn't win any.” HandsKidsWantedWinningTelevisionSixMy FavoriteListsAwardsAcademyHawksHitchcockAcademy Awards Author:Martin Scorsese
“Consider the oddity of those drug commercials on television. Fifteen seconds of the purported therapeutic effort, followed by about 45 seconds of a rapidly muttered list of horrific possible side effects. When the ad is over, I can't remember a thing about what the pill is supposed to do, except perhaps cause nausea, liver damage, projectile vomiting, a nasty rash, a four-hour erection, and sudden death. Sudden death is my favorite because there is something comical about it being a side effect. What exactly is the main effect in that case? Relief from abdominal bloating?” I CanRememberCausesSidesHoursEffortCasesFourEffectsTelevisionDrugMy FavoriteListsDamageReliefSecondsAdsFifteenNastyPillsLiverTherapeuticHorrificSide EffectsComicalNauseaOdditiesVomitingSudden DeathExactly IsProjectileAbdominals Author:Charles Krauthammer
