Me personally, I wouldn't put my kids on television. But to each his own.

I don't think it's realistic to say kids shouldn't watch any TV. I just wish the shows would be better. And that kids would watch less. Get out there and do things, kids! Don't become couch potatoes!

The kids don't really have any part of my television life. Fortunately, there aren't many times when show business intrudes on our family existence.

The imagination of our children is blunted on television, and their thinking is done for them.

My son has been known to throw a book at the television set when he called for me to come play and I was obviously busy in the box. But I'm told that children of television performers grow up thinking that all mommies or daddies work on TV and that it's no big deal.

Kids aren't growing up with a sense of television as the aspirational place for their ideas.

I grew up on the golden age of children's TV.

Having watched television, I would kind of play the role or picture myself on a television show or something like that. That's maybe always been true of a certain type of kid, even before television maybe, but I think it's been amplified to an insane level.

I think, with TV, you create kind of a family to work with.

Just watching TV as a kid, for a long time I thought, as a young kid, obviously when I was, like, 4 or 5, I thought that people lived in the television.
