I was fired from my television job, simple as that. Well, downsized, really, a classic 1990s situation.

You know, there are not only - all of the networks, and I mean every television news operation and print and radio and magazines, newspapers, all of them, are remiss in the diversity area. I mean, none of these organizations have reached a level of parity.

I was one of the first generations to watch television. TV exposes people to news, to information, to knowledge, to entertainment. How is it bad?

The heightened public clamor resulting from radio and television coverage will inevitably result in prejudice. Trial by television is, therefore, foreign to our system.

We didn't have television in those days, and many people didn't even have radios. My mother would read aloud to my father and me in the evening.

I was very sad to hear of the death of Ronnie Barker, who was such a warm, friendly and encouraging presence to have when I started in television. He was also a great comic actor to learn from.

I grew up in the world of bad television, on my dad's sets and then as a young schmuck on dating shows and so on.

More teenagers go to movies or rent a tape of a movie than sit down and watch sitcoms on television.

I'm a writer. Now I've started to be on television. I have a big mouth. And I have good TV teeth, they say.

I was initially a leading man, but only on television.

I messed around in high school, but I pretty much put it away until I did a television show in San Francisco.

Get me well so I can get on television and tell people to stop smoking.

I do it because I love acting, I love working, and whether it's radio, television, films, theater, I don't care as long as I can get out there and do it.

I sang in the coffee houses of the country in the early '60s with no idea of success in terms of records or television. I just thought I was a storyteller. I didn't even think of myself as a singer.

There was only so much television you could do.

When I was about 9, I had polio, and people were very frightened for their children, so you tended to be isolated. I was paralyzed for a while, so I watched television.

I remember growing up with television, from the time it was just a test pattern, with maybe a little bit of programming once in a while.

Television is more interesting than people. If it were not we should have people standing in the corner of our room.

Television is a young person's medium.

And they like being able to turn on the television day in and day out to see someone that they know and they feel comfortable with and trust hopefully and respect even.
