I think women are amazing and women's friendships are like a sisterhood and we should see more of it in television and film.

Listen a cable series is a beautiful thing because there's such amazing writing happening on television and it's a schedule that allows you to do a play or two. There's a reason everybody wants that job!

I think that marriage is an amazing institution and should be preserved and you can have great marriages and you must because sharing your life with someone is like the greatest thing. And I loved being able to set a good example for that on television.

I never do any television without chocolate. That's my motto and I live by it. Quite often I write the scripts and I make sure there are chocolate scenes. Actually I'm a bit of a chocolate tart and will eat anything. It's amazing I'm so slim.

I have experienced some amazing food! Yet when I think about the most luxurious and exquisite meals I have had visions of simple food made from a few natural ingredients are what most excite me.

I mean there are some amazing storytelling being done on the small screen right now. That's what so cool about being in television right now. Studios networks are starting to throw more resources better writers more production values... and to be part of that is awesome.

With reality TV sometimes it's amazing chemistry and you get these gems that turn out to be everything you hoped and the camera loves them and they just blossom on the show. And then sometimes it's not all you envision.

As a kid I always loved serialized books. It's the reason why people love 'Harry Potter.' Serialization is amazing. It works in television. It works in film and it works in books. Especially when you're a young kid you get attached to these characters.

Half a century ago the amazing courage of Rosa Parks the visionary leadership of Martin Luther King and the inspirational actions of the civil rights movement led politicians to write equality into the law and make real the promise of America for all her citizens.

Science and vision are not opposites or even at odds. They need each other. I sometimes hear other startup folks say something along the lines of: 'If entrepreneurship was a science then anyone could do it.' I'd like to point out that even science is a science and still very few people can do it let alone do it well.

The power of a book lies in its power to turn a solitary act into a shared vision. As long as we have books we are not alone.

The principal contributor to loneliness in this country is television. What happens is that the family 'gets together' alone.

I'm very shy really. I spend a lot of time in my room alone reading or writing or watching television.

Had the United States and the United Kingdom gone on alone to capture Baghdad under the provisions of the Geneva and Hague conventions we would have been considered occupying powers and therefore would have been responsible for all the costs of maintaining or restoring government education and other services for the people of Iraq.

In the age of television image becomes more important than substance.

In the modern media age we are rarely surprised by what we see. Whether it's on television or film or in the theatre everything is so advertised so trailed that most entertainment is merely what you thought it was going to be like.

I am hoping for peaceful transition into a new age. Obama has already played a great role in initiating us into that vision. If he were to be harmed in any way it would spawn the birth of a million Obamas.

We are approaching a new age of synthesis. Knowledge cannot be merely a degree or a skill... it demands a broader vision capabilities in critical thinking and logical deduction without which we cannot have constructive progress.

I hate to mention age but I come from an era when we weren't consumed by technology and television.

Every age needs men who will redeem the time by living with a vision of the things that are to be.

I'm well past the age where I'm acceptable. You get to a certain age and you are forbidden access. You're not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines you're not going to get played on radio and you're not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth.

In the television age the key distinction is between the candidate who can speak poetry and the one who can only speak prose.

As the age of television progresses the Reagans will be the rule not the exception. To be perfect for television is all a President has to be these days.

Education is the best provision for old age.
