“Local television is a slightly different story. It is under much more pressure in the same way that all local businesses are, whether that's a local newspaper, local radio or local television.

“You know, not every good book needs to be a movie, or a television series, or a video game. There's great work in those mediums, of course, but sometimes a book should remain a book.

And sometimes that is the way it should stay.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWayNeedsShouldBelieveStillsBookSometimesStoriesCoursesGamesBrainNovelSawsTelevisionSeriesVery GoodTheatreVideoMediumsComplexityGreat WorkGood BookRichnessGood MovieI Still BelieveMovie Theatre Author:Carlos Ruiz Zafon

“But actually my dad is a very talented director and not just his use of shots and camera, but he's very good with actors and he knows acting well. It's great to see him do that and be really good at it and he's been doing it for a while and he certainly knows how to make movies, and little movies I guess for a television show, and he's going to come back in November to direct a second episode, which I'm really excited about.” KnowsWellsLittlesUseShowsActorsActingKnow HowTelevisionDadDirectorsShotsDirectCamerasMy DadVery GoodExcitedEpisodesNovemberTelevision Shows Author:Emily Deschanel
