I'm not going to lie. I'd love to have the mic in my hand opposite of Dixie Carter in the ring and say my piece, say what's on my mind. And if she's willing to sit there and listen to it, I think it...

I'm hooked on Glenn Close in 'Damages.'

It's good that people have been surprised at the direction Broadchurch has taken. That's what you want, to keep people guessing.

Mr. Trump is primarily a television personality. As such, he is judged by that standard. This means that a scandal does not call forth a response; it calls forth the desire for a bigger scandal.

Television used to be made much more in a vacuum; the only feedback the audience had for a long time was in a Nielsen number that would arrive sometime after the show had been broadcast. And now,...

I think the love-hate is fundamental. Everyone hates reality television, and everyone's watching it. Everyone hates Facebook, and everyone is on it.

When you've played Buffy - who's such a strong female role model - it's really hard for another female character to compare to her.

A young basketball player has people to look up to and emulate. We are a pro league, and we're on television. It makes a difference. It shows what's possible.

When you work in television, you're in the writer's room all the time.

Why do we write novels or make television about real things? It's the human condition and human suffering.

I couldn't imagine what Fox thought they were doing, contemplating such a jagged protagonist for a prime-time drama. I only knew that I wanted the role very much.

Whenever you see Indian first class cricket on television, you see only a white wicket in a four-day game. And you have after five overs your spinners bowling from both ends on all four days. So how...

At the end of Season Four of 'Mr. Show,' instead of doing another season, everyone just thought they wanted to go and do a movie. Kind of like Monty Python. Monty Python went right into 'And Now For...

Some of my favorite shows are ones where the characters are vile and human and flawed. That's what makes me want to keep watching a show, not writers telling me how to feel about characters.

I like American late-night shows, like Trevor Noah, John Oliver, and Bill Maher - I've got them all on series link.

The one thing about program television that's absolutely incompatible with any concept of art is that all decisions have to be made by program directors, whereas art is autonomous. It may be...

'Days Of Our Lives' has probably the most passionate people I've ever worked with, that love and care so deeply about their show. I had deep friendships there.

I loved 'Freaks and Geeks.' I don't know a better show.

I love good TV shows, but it's not what I do. I kind of sculpt my films as I go along. And TV is all about writing, so you just shoot, shoot, shoot what's written.

Life goes on pretty much the same way. I've been working on a couple of films on the side. You may see some more. You may even see another television show.

As the first, original format for fans interested in fixing cars, it's fair to say most TV motoring shows trace their heritage back to 'Wheeler Dealers.'

We expect 'Narcos' will be an enormous success throughout everywhere in the world and maybe outshine in Latin America, given the Brazilian star and Brazilian director and heavy Latin American cast and...

They've got to deliver twenty-six episodes a season and they're not going to beat their heads up against a wall if they feel something didn't, like, pan out the way they had hoped.

Part of the mystique of shows like 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' is the idea that they begin with a couple of plot lines, and then a bunch of geniuses improvise dialogue. It's not quite that unstructured and...

We've seen from shows like 'Game of Thrones' that the book can become a seed, which you plant in the ground of great TV creators, and it can sprout out into a big tree.

It used to be that you had to do a certain number of episodes to hit syndication in order to try to keep a show on, because it's important to the network because it sells good commercial time. That's...

My wife and I are into 'Game of Thrones,' and she convinced me to watch 'Nashville,' but in return, she'll watch 'Sons of Anarchy.'

I love the French detective series 'Spiral.' It's quite brutal to watch, but I'm already hooked.

Kids don't read as much as you'd like them to, just in terms of seeing the world from different perspectives. I mean, that's the great thing about books, still. Here's television, here are the movies,...

My favorite TV show is probably 'Power.'
