I think television's become a downright dangerous thing. It has no moral barometer whatsoever. If you want to talk about something that is all about money, just watch the television.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
I think more money can be very detrimental to movies and TV because things get solved economically rather than creatively, and that's never a good solution.
Television allows for survival, which is the basic issue for me. You have to decide how much money is enough. You can't get carried away with the hunt for money. But there are times it shows up, and you need to grab it, and that allows you to hunt for a better script.
At the end of the day, TV is supposed to be entertaining. But it's important for me that there's some take-away value from it.
The one thing that TV is bad at doing is preaching. There are two extremes, you either turn the people into a punchline or turn them into hero, and both of those things suck, because most people are neither in real life.
I think that every time you bring a subject into the mainstream landscape of television, it can have a huge impact. Television is such an influential medium.
Television is more of a business. You can't take as many risks, because there's so many channels now, and the advertising's dropping.
Life is so fast these days, and we're exposed to so much information. Television makes us a witness to such misery.
Television isn't inherently good or bad. You go to a bookstore, there are how many thousands of books, but how many of those do you want? Five? Television's the same way. If you're going to show people stuff, television is the way to go. Words and pictures show things.
I don't watch television, I think it destroys the art of talking about oneself.
