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.

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

This whole thing about reality television to me is really indicative of America saying we're not satisfied just watching television, we want to star in our own TV shows. We want you to discover us and put us in your own TV show, and we want television to be about us, finally.

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 has tremendous power over our lives.

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 do love television. But the business is accelerating and people are not getting the chance to fail.

Modern politics today requires a mastery of television. I've never really warmed up to television and, in fairness to television, it's never warmed up to me.

We love television because television brings us a world in which television does not exist.

What TV is extremely good at - and realize that this is 'all it does' - is discerning what large numbers of people think they want, and supplying it.
