Television has tremendous power over our lives.

I like television. I still believe that television is the most powerful form of communication on Earth - I just hate what is being done with it.

Television is a thing that people get very familiar with. They want to hear your voice in their head.

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.

Television is an invention that permits you to be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn't have in your home.

TV serves us most usefully when presenting junk-entertainment; it serves us most ill when it co-opts serious modes of discourse - news, politics, science, education, commerce, religion.

I don't think we use television the way we should or the way the inventors intended.
