Television and comic books are, and continue to be, probably the biggest influence in my life. It's the biggest influence on everybody's life.
‐‐ Gene Simmons
Television and film acting is really fun because you are working with other people and you are not completely responsible for the outcome of the project.
‐‐ Alex Borstein
Television and film are our libraries now. Our history books.
‐‐ David Strathairn
Television and film are such streamlined story mediums. You can't really meander about, whereas a novel is an interior experience.
‐‐ Steven Bochco
Television and I grew up together.
‐‐ Roger Ailes
Television and movies have short-circuited reality. I don't think a lot of people are entirely clear on what is real and what is on the screen.
‐‐ Alan Moore
Television and movies just take so long. If you pitch a show or develop a project, it can be a year before your show even gets on the air, if it gets picked up.
‐‐ Chris Hardwick
Television and radio do a wonderful job in focusing attention on the problems of our society.
‐‐ Richard J. Daley
Television, as you know, can kind of jettison you into a whole new world.
‐‐ David Caruso
Television audiences are ruthless - look what happened to 'The Killing.'
‐‐ Damian Lewis
Television broadcasts have, in the main, been more suggestive, less specific, more distant in their images than the print press: often you knew that lump was a dead body only because a chattering reporter told you it was.
‐‐ Bruce Jackson
Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room. Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America - not on the battlefields of Vietnam.
‐‐ Marshall McLuhan
Television, cable, features are always out there.
‐‐ Kyle Chandler
Television can be a very fickle place.
‐‐ Megyn Kelly
Television cannot film corruption. Television cannot spend five days on a rattling railway train, talking endlessly. Television needs excitement, it needs an angle, it needs a 'sound bite.
‐‐ Paul Theroux
Television contracts the imagination and radio expands it.
‐‐ Terry Wogan
Television could perform a great service in mass education, but there's no indication its sponsors have anything like this on their minds.
‐‐ Tallulah Bankhead
Television doesn't like politics very well, if you can infer that from the way they cover it.
‐‐ Jack Germond
Television doesn't make stars. It's the written media, the press, that makes stars.
‐‐ Chevy Chase
Television doesn't want to admit it has those dreadful roach ads on anyway.
‐‐ Michael O'Donoghue
Television enjoys a de facto monopoly on what goes into the heads of a significant part of the population and what they think.
‐‐ Pierre Bourdieu
Television executives only commission something that somebody else has already commissioned that's doing well on another station - they're afraid of expecting an audience to concentrate for longer than three minutes on any particular item.
‐‐ Mariella Frostrup
Television, for me, is great because I love to act, every day. I love to work that muscle. I love to learn, and I love to be able to just do what I love. It's when I'm at my best. So, I love TV for that reason because it's every day.
‐‐ Jennifer Love Hewitt
Television forces people to be larger than life. I would be too shy.
‐‐ Heston Blumenthal
Television has a different biorhythm than movies. I love the biorhythm of TV.
‐‐ Steven Spielberg
Television has a real problem. They have no page two.
‐‐ Art Buchwald
Television has always been our No. 1 competition. But I know firsthand that you can create an experience you can't get on television. I also know that the social experience has an appeal.
‐‐ Jerry Jones
Television has always been something you watch; now, increasingly, it is also something you do.
‐‐ Anne Sweeney
Television has an awful lot to do with the Kennedy mystique and the fact that he's frozen in people's minds at the age of 46, and he was handsome and personable and witty and charming.
‐‐ Robert Dallek
Television has been the single greatest shaper of emptiness.
‐‐ Ravi Zacharias
Television has been very good to me. I grew up on it, and it had quite an impact on me. I'm entertaining opportunities that are coming my way.
‐‐ Judy Reyes
Television has brought back murder into the home - where it belongs.
‐‐ Alfred Hitchcock
Television has certain imperatives that CNN had the luxury of ignoring for a long period of time. CNN could take the position that the news would be the star, because in most of the programming day, they were the only all-news operation on the air.
‐‐ Brit Hume
Television has changed. Some feels like good old-fashioned TV, and some of it feels more filmic and more natural and more nuanced. I don't think there's any clear line any longer between film and TV.
‐‐ Robin Weigert
Television has changed the American child from an irresistable force to an immovable object.
‐‐ Laurence J. Peter
Television has changed. There's obviously the generic shows, but on HBO and AMC, there are some really great series, so I'm not closed off to television. If there's an amazing role with amazing people and a great story, I'd definitely be open to it.
‐‐ Amanda Crew
Television has created a nation of news junkies who tune in every night to get their fix on the world.
‐‐ Robert MacNeil
Television has done a lot for me, and I can never stay away from it.
‐‐ Ram Kapoor
Television has done much for psychiatry by spreading information about it, as well as contributing to the need for it.
‐‐ Alfred Hitchcock
Television has dried up for my generation, so it's plays and films. You get used to being lazy doing films, but classical theatre's going to finish me off.
‐‐ Michael Gambon
Television has given Pakistan a truly open national forum for the first time in its history. Ideas are debated, leaders are assessed and criticised, and a nation of 170 million people is finally discovering, together, what it thinks.
‐‐ Mohsin Hamid
Television has its own award. It's called the Emmy. It's a good award. I like it. I have one. But you don't see movies like 'The King's Speech' win Oscars and then go to TV and qualify for Emmys. In documentaries, some networks have been able to game the system.
‐‐ Michael Moore
Television has lifted the manufacture of banality out of the sphere of handicraft and placed it in that of a major industry.
‐‐ Nathalie Sarraute
Television has made dictatorship impossible but democracy unbearable.
‐‐ Shimon Peres
Television has made places look alike, and it has transformed the way we see. A whole generation of Americans, maybe two, has grown up looking at the world through a lens.
‐‐ Ronald Steel
Television has never known what to do with grief, which resists narrative: the dramas of grief are largely internal - for the bereaved, it is a chaotic, intense, episodic period, but the chaos is by and large subterranean, and easily appears static to the friendly onlooker who has absorbed the fact of loss and moved on.
‐‐ Meghan O'Rourke
Television has proved that people will look at anything rather than each other.
‐‐ Ann Landers
Television has raised writing to a new low.
‐‐ Samuel Goldwyn
Television has shied away from being too dark, because so much has happened to us recently here in the West, and people are sort of wanting to see more uplifting sorts of things.
‐‐ Idris Elba
Television has some lovely aspects to it - and some ghastly aspects - but the theater itself was a wonderful invention.
‐‐ Patrick Macnee
