Internationally, I have as large of a fan base - if not larger - than I have domestically.
The comics of course, help the movies, because all of the comic fans want to see the movies. And the most amazing thing about it is these movies seem to appeal to young people, to old people, and to people all over the world. They're as popular in China and Latin America as they are here. That's really amazing and gratifying.
Just the extent of the reach that the WWE Universe has around the world is incredible.
The Simpsons can go anywhere in the world and not worry about any budgetary issues. However, even when the show has had its run, I think the characters can go on in perpetuity.
The one thing that's changed for 'That Metal Show' is that it's now global; it's now on in places outside of America.
I'm amazed by just constantly - there's not a week that goes past where there's not someone in Ulan Bator or Rio De Janeiro suddenly says, 'Ooh, 'Downton' started this week.' You completely forget it's staggered across the world.
Mind you, the limelight exists anywhere in the world. When you're not in the U.K., it can be as active somewhere else in the world, and for me, that's more or less been the case, so I never dropped out of the limelight in that sense.
You can be tops in Australia and be unheard of everywhere else.
Take Ernie Els. He plays in every country. You see his name everywhere. He's received in different parts of the world. It's a good experience.
It's true that a song or an entertainer isn't really a hit unless he's a hit in America as well as Europe.
Mickey is one of the prime examples: Mickey has never been suspected of being an American export. It was deja vu. They gave him a local name and he's been accepted everywhere he goes.
I think it's as popular as it ever has been and it continues to grow as it does all around the world.
Football is the best, is the biggest sport in the world.
To reach the heights of a truly global sport, in a sport as difficult as this, is a monumental achievement.
My soap operas have been seen by a billion people all around the world.
First and foremost, I am most proud of how 'Hee Haw' did its part to help pave the way for country music to burst from its regional roots to remarkable worldwide popularity.
I think the international players, in general, show how basketball is global now. There are players from all the countries.
I have fans all around the world.
Right after 'Desperate' sold to China, we were the most watched show around the world at the time. That's really something great to be a part of.
I've been doing instrumental records now for a long time and built up this little fan base, which is worldwide, and it's incredible how big it's gotten. People really enjoy these records.
It isn't reasonable to expect that everyone in the world is a country music fan. Not yet, anyway.
I'm much better known in France and Germany and Spain than I am in the U.S. When I go to Russia, I get mobbed; I have groups of fans waiting for me out in the hotel lobby, waiting for me to come down off the elevator. In China, I almost got beat up because people were trying to get me to do a drawing for them.
For a time, at least, I was the most famous person in the entire world.
Bengal's indigenous art and craft is widely popular throughout the world.
I was a star in Italy, Austrailia, Germany and Japan before the American stations ever paid attention at all.
