You must not demand the failure of your peers because the more good things that are around in film in television in theater - why the better it is for all of us.

I think we're the only jokeless show on television. I mean really we have no setups and no punch lines. It's not a joke show. There are funny lines and funny moments but again the comedy is born of the human experience and awkward pauses are a great part of what it is to be human.

The printed page conveys information and commitment and requires active involvement. Television conveys emotion and experience and it's very limited in what it can do logically. It's an existential experience - there and then gone.

There's a positive side to film and television the sense of feeding into the theater... Your fans will follow you hopefully and be open-minded to see you play other things and experience other stories you want to tell.

At Current television is all we do - that's our business. We don't have amusement parks I have to worry about we don't have environmental cases against us we don't have a series of outdoor-advertising companies.

I went to drama school for four years at Carnegie Mellon conservatory training before television comedy. I was doing Shakespeare and Chekov plays. It's about delivering on the promise of a $100 000 education and taking the shackles off and trying the hand at my craft. I'm thrilled with what I've seen so far.

If you go and talk to most people they mean well but they don't have much of a breadth on education of knowledge of understanding what the real issues are and therefore they listen to pundits on television who tell them what they are supposed to think and they keep repeating that until pretty soon they say 'Oh well that must be true.'

Television is something the Russians invented to destroy American education.

Television could perform a great service in mass education but there's no indication its sponsors have anything like this on their minds.

If the education of our kids comes from radio television newspapers - if that's where they get most of their knowledge from and not from the schools then the powers that be are definitely in charge because they own all those outlets.

It never occurred to me that I'd be on a television show or in feature films but when those came into play my dreams changed along the way.

What is a television apparatus to man who has only to shut his eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen who has only to imagine in order to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdads of his dreams to rise from the dust.

It's about the power of design and the power of the human spirit. It's above paying anybody to do something stupid for money like reality television does - like ambushing people.

It's certain that the death of an actor can be on a television screen playing the same thing every week.

I can't turn on the television without seeing me or open the newspaper without seeing me and honestly I'm sick to death of me.

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 ain't scared to do another dating show but I ain't really trying to. I want to do a talk show or something. I've done enough dating on television. I'm ready to spread my wings and go down other avenues.
