I liked the way my character Shane was first introduced. You get introduced to her through this sexual action and I thought that was so cool and just kind of summed up what she enjoys and who she is to a certain extent. She's a complete sexual being and the great thing is that she doesn't apologize for it. It's just who she is. We rarely see women be able to do that on television.

I am kind of a private person so I don't miss that part of show business at all. Looking back on my career in television and making a movie like 'The Sound of Music' from an adult point of view it actually seems kind of unreal. I was involved in shows that people grew up with - that hold memories for them - and it's a cool feeling.

There's a power in women being women. There's a role for men but we don't have to be men because we're women. I think that representing that on television is a cool thing.

When I look at President Obama I see a leader with a cool head a caring heart and an open mind a president who has demonstrated through his demeanor and through his deeds that he is uniquely qualified to heal our divisions rebuild our nation and lead us to a brighter future together.

Big Star invented a vision of bohemian rock & roll cool that had nothing to do with New York Los Angeles or London which made them completely out of style in the 1970s but also made them an inspiration to generations of weird Southern kids.

Well the big products in electronics in the '50s were radio and television. The first big computers were just beginning to come in and represented the most logical market for us to work in.

Before computers telephone lines and television connect us we all share the same air the same oceans the same mountains and rivers. We are all equally responsible for protecting them.

You have to wait for people to program you. The only difference is the amount of people that you're going to reach but that's going to even out in the next two or three years anyway. Computers are being bought faster than televisions right now.

I know so many people who actually just watch television on their computers now and don't even really watch their TV anymore.

We could say we want the Web to reflect a vision of the world where everything is done democratically. To do that we get computers to talk with each other in such a way as to promote that ideal.

Many of our own people here in this country do not ask about computers telephones and television sets. They ask - when will we get a road to our village.

Without television and mass communication that knowledge wouldn't exist. So I think it actually has the possibility of turning people into more understanding and more empathetic people.

Being a good television screenwriter requires an understanding of the way film accelerates the communication of words.

I like television. I still believe that television is the most powerful form of communication on Earth - I just hate what is being done with it.

Our most tragic error may have been our inability to establish a rapport and a confidence with the press and television with the communication media. I don't think the press has understood me.

It's a fact that more people watch television and get their information that way than read books. I find new technology and new ways of communication very exciting and would like to do more in this field.

Mass communication radio and especially television have attempted not without success to annihilate every possibility of solitude and reflection.

You have a dramatic portion of your television program and you treat it dramatically and then you have a comedic portion of your program and you treat it differently. Why do you change who are between the two pieces? You're the same person. Just go.

Climate change was a point of division between Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney. The president declared climate change a global threat acknowledged that the actions of humanity were deepening the crisis and pledged to do something about it if elected.

The notion that Congress can change the meaning given a constitutional provision by the Court is subversive of the function of judicial review and it is not the less so because the Court promises to allow it only when the Constitution is moved to the left.

Television is like the invention of indoor plumbing. It didn't change people's habits. It just kept them inside the house.

Every daring attempt to make a great change in existing conditions every lofty vision of new possibilities for the human race has been labeled Utopian.

Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.

Constitutions should consist only of general provisions the reason is that they must necessarily be permanent and that they cannot calculate for the possible change of things.
