I live by Edith Wharton's rule to get rid of anything neither useful nor beautiful. So I put the TV out on the street.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Television was a great place for me to kind of fall on my face and make mistakes and be okay with it and move on.
I've lived in a big showplace house, and I never want to live again in a house that overshadows me.
Hey, the TV was my friend. As a child, I always said, 'I want to live in there someday.'
I messed around in high school, but I pretty much put it away until I did a television show in San Francisco.
Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.
Radio, newspapers, they were normal parts of my life. In those days, you had to go somewhere to watch television and leave something to see it.
I wouldn't have the life I have without television. I wouldn't be looking out my apartment window onto the East River; I wouldn't be able to afford to have my mother with me this summer. So television has been very good to me.
I grew up without a television, so when I went to L.A., it was sort of, you know, a lot to take in, but it actually suited me more than where I was from, so I sort of had that 'home away from home' feeling, and L.A. is definitely home now.
I pretty much have no life outside of the theatre. I go home every night, and I put the TV on, and I veg out and order food.
Always live in the ugliest house on the street - then you don't have to look at it.
