I don't know if TV is where I see my format working.
I tell my children to avoid theatre and go into cinema and TV.
I just loved films. I knew I wanted to work on film, not video.
If you don't think a television news show represents the truth, you can turn off your TV. If you don't think a magazine represents the truth, you can cancel your subscription. You have the right to expose yourself to whatever information you want. But to have the government prescribing what the truth is or limiting the information available for the citizen is contrary to the 1st Amendment.
I still get my news from the newspaper in the morning. I just have an affection for paper, and that's no secret, I guess.
People who read are not too lazy to turn on the television; they prefer books.
One of the things that appealed to me most about comics was that you can pick the ones you like and build your own personal pantheon.
If you could have a news program without commercials, it would be better. But is a news program with commercials better than no news program at all? My view was, I'll take the one with commercials versus no news program at all.
One of the unsung freedoms that go with a free press is the freedom not to read it.
Today, especially, when there are so many stations for viewers to choose from, if they want news, they always come to CNN and that's where I wanted to be.
I've never seen 'Seinfeld', never seen 'The Cosby Show'; I just don't watch it. I saw half of 'Oprah' one time. I'd rather read.
I am primarily a writer of books, and I enjoy that. But I come to realize that a lot of people prefer a visual medium.
For SpringHill, it's always important that the content find the right platform, not the other way around.
Of course I want to do films. But to me, television is equally important. It is where I got recognition.
There are terrible things going on in the world, but I am not going to force them down everyone's throats.
People can say anything they want to. If they don't want to get the news from me, get it from somebody else. It's not something I'm going to worry about, I'm sorry.
People say to me all the time, "I get my news from your show." And that isn't the way they should get their news. But the choice is not between getting their news the right way and getting their news from my show. The choice is that they won't get any at all unless you give it to them in an entertaining package.
With a face like mine, I do better in print.
I like certain things, I don't like others, and I like what NBC has to offer. I can do sports and I can do entertainment, and whatever they offer I'm going to try at least once to figure out what I love and what I don't.
In Britian we have a free press. It's not a pretty press, but it's free. The people who can't bear the Daily Mail, they say: 'you should ban it'. No, no, no, no, you don't ban it... you don't buy it.
The great thing about media now is that you have 360 degrees worth of opinions and can find whatever you want and tune out whatever you want.
Some objects and events may be photographed, others, if one is to render their true quality, should be painted or set to music, since their essence is more faithfully reproduced through imagination than by the journalistic report.
I didn't want to do film or commercials or television.
I don't really think it matters if you go into stage or TV as long as you do a bit of character work, really.
Everyone should get their news however they want to and in whatever form they want. I'm not going to sit back in judgment of other people and the way they do it.
