I think American television changed world television in its reinvention of the series.

I do think that television, in its early years, played a significant role in that standard-setting, enforcing a certain decency among people. They took their role seriously, and the people behind the camera took their role seriously, too.

I think the amazing thing about 'Twin Peaks' was that it completely changed television from that point forward.

'House of Style' changed my life. I literally had no experience in front of a TV camera before, and there I was taking over for Rebecca Romijn. My exposure heightened instantly.

The whole cable-TV original programming just changed the nature of television.

Television is intensely personal.

Gene Roddenbury felt that television was being wasted. That it had the potential for enlightenment and even inspiration.

So there was a constant flow and a thin line there between reality and television and yes, much of what I was experiencing in my real life was also what was going on in the television show to the extent that I had to take writers' advice and from the counselors around.

In the 1950s we use to feel that television was taking away our comic readership; with today's exciting, powerfully visual movies I have to wonder about their effect on the kids' loyalty to the comic book medium all over again.
