Quote

I believe America wants and needs the shared experience of television. We far too often see in crises how television brings us together.

I would wish eventually to be able to make television that informs and educates as well as entertains.

I do love television. But the business is accelerating and people are not getting the chance to fail.

Television has become the government, priest, psychotherapist - the legitimiser of our egos.

Life is so fast these days, and we're exposed to so much information. Television makes us a witness to such misery.

While television is a good servant, it's a bad master. It can swallow up huge quantities of our lives without much happiness bang for the buck.

We love television because television brings us a world in which television does not exist.

I don't like seeing myself on television. I don't like it.

I actually think we should be trying to be rigorous in our thinking about television and the way it enters our lives and shapes the way so many people think.

I wish I could come home to a life that looks like a TV show. I wish I could see my television family waiting for me, where no one fights and no one screams, no one lies and no one leaves.
