The whole tone now of TV is under 35 and directed toward males.

Television is a young person's medium.

With the advent of cable and such, you guys are calling it the golden age of TV in terms of the writing and stuff. But it's like different branches of a big tree that TV has become.

I think television often has dismissed younger people. They figure, well, they're not really watching news, that's not our audience.

You get to that age where you're watching a lot of television, and who doesn't want to be on television?

I have very strong views on TV. There's no diversity, there's no choice. Things are decided by committee.

I think every theater in America wants a younger audience... and you can't just hope to have a younger audience, you have to program things that audience is going to connect with.

There's been periods of broadcasts in the past where you could see all ages of entertainers, ranging from George Burns to Shirley Temple. That's not the condition now.

There are some fantastic roles for women and women of a certain age on television, whether it's 'Medium' or 'The Closer' or 'Damages' or 'Saving Grace.'

In terms of representation, television is reflecting an era that has passed. It's the wrong time; it's the wrong period. In all sorts of television, it doesn't feel like the 21st century.
