I rode into the dawning world of television in 1944 on a train.

In this age of globalization, instant real time media and television, everyone all over the world realizes that high energy usage equates with a high standard of living and wealth.

I have never seen a bad television program, because I refuse to. God gave me a mind, and a wrist that turns things off.

Television is actually closer to reality than anything in books. The madness of TV is the madness of human life.

I know that we shall meet problems along the way, but I'd far rather see for myself what's going on in the world outside, than rely on newspapers, television, politicians and religious leaders to tell me what I should be thinking.

Everything has been homogenized. Over time, with television and jet travel, everybody has blended together. Some of our wonderful charm has been lost.

I don't think I miss anything by not watching television.

I know I'm an actor, but I'm not at all a believer in people watching a lot of TV. I've never had television in my home.

The government would have preferred not to take a stand, but the constant presence of the Israeli-Arab conflict on our television screens made it an issue that could no longer be avoided.

It's not that I'm knocking the movie and television work.

Television has made dictatorship impossible but democracy unbearable.

My whole goal was to be able to work in television and film and maintain a normal life, never be in a tabloid.

Television has changed the American child from an irresistable force to an immovable object.

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.

I was as happy doing theater in New York for little or no money as I am now doing television for more money. The happiness, I guess, comes out of it being a good job. The success has to do with the fact that it's a good job that will continue.

The censorship is such on television in the U.S. that films like mine don't stand a chance.

This programme would only really make sense and work properly if it was also broadcast on France's international television channel TV5. So I ended up with a double production, on France 2 and TV5.

Movies and television shows based on comic books constitute the worst single genre in the history of filmed entertainment (with the exception of porn).

The Times has much less power than you think. I believe we attribute power to the media generally that it simply doesn't have. It's very convenient to blame the media, the same way we blame television for everything that's going wrong in society.

Television's Mr. Filth: that's me.
