When I grew up, there was still black and white TV. I was told to never get out of bed once you're put to bed. I'd sneak down the hallway, try to avoid the creaking floor boards and go in and watch the 'Midnight Movie.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Television knows no night. It is perpetual day. TV embodies our fear of the dark, of night, of the other side of things.
I have used movies to go to sleep at night. You flip from channel to channel to channel and see just enough to make your brain mushy and go to sleep.
I can't stop watching black and white movies. I live in a world of Warner Brothers movies and all of that stuff from an older era, and I love them. I still love them. When I look at them, I sometimes think I was born in the wrong time.
I fall asleep on the couch in front of the TV. It's very rare that I see the end of any show.
TV is my sleeping pill.
The night before a show, I don't sleep. Really. I've been doing this for 30 years, and the night before a show, I still don't sleep.
My whole life revolved around TV as a kid. I would come home and make sure I finished my homework every night by 8 o'clock, generally so that I could sit down and watch TV from 8 to 10. As a kid, it was 'Family Ties' and 'Roseanne' and 'Growing Pains' and 'Perfect Strangers' and 'Golden Girls.' I mean, I watched everything.
My parents used to rent old movies - my whole childhood is in black and white - and it was my dream to make films.
I'm kind of an insomniac and watch TV late at night.
Television shows and movies that are all white, I can't watch them. They totally alienate me.
