I don't understand why people don't understand that the world of TV should look like the world outside of TV.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
There is a tendency around the world today to copy TV culture. And that is not always a virtue.
The geographical isolation and lack of television made world happenings and problems seem remote.
People's attitude seems to be that if you don't have a television, you're not connected to reality - somehow you're not in reality. It's quite interesting, because I suspect that possibly it's the reverse.
There is so much we can learn from TV. It's a window on the world.
I don't really know much about TV and what people want to see. I'm not that well-informed about it.
I think that televisions are unnecessarily complex. The irony is that as the pictures get better and the choice of content gets broader, that the complexity of the experience of using the television gets more and more complicated.
The TV world is not what it used to be. I mean, the quality has become something quite exceptional.
Television, above all, is the place where people can see the world they live in, and if the world they live in is a world without the arts, so much the worse for television, and so much the worse for the viewers.
I don't regard television as the outside world. I regard it as an artefact.
