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.

Television has tremendous power over our lives.

I think television has had a vast, unbelievable impact on us.

I don't watch television, I think it destroys the art of talking about oneself.

Television can be a very fickle place.

TV is a major force in our lives - a FORCE. It must be handled very carefully, both its censure and its artistic honesty.

I'm not one of those who thinks there is something inherently bad or inferior about watching television.

I ended up with my life slanted toward television, and I just accept that. I think you play the hand the way it's dealt, that's all.

I honestly believe that TV generally is obsessed with the ratings battle to the point of cutting its own throat.

Television is actually closer to reality than anything in books. The madness of TV is the madness of human life.
