Americans may say they love our accents (I have been accused of sounding 'like Princess Di') but the more thoughtful ones resent and rather dislike us as a nation and people, as friends of mine have found out by being on the edge of conversations where Americans assumed no Englishmen were listening. And it is the English, specifically, who are the targets of this. Few Americans have heard of Wales. All of them have heard of Ireland and many of them think they are Irish. Scotland gets a sort of free pass, especially since Braveheart re-established the Scots' anti-English credentials among the ignorant millions who get their history off the TV. ↗

Television viewers, they've been around a long time. They've been watching this thing now for 50 years. I mean, they know exactly what's happening when it comes to television programming. You can't put anything over on them anymore. ↗

My background was producing and writing and performing in television when I started out, and I really missed that, that whole creative process that comes from sort of 'me' storytelling. ↗

It was considered that you were stepping down by doing television. I almost turned Cybill down because I so wanted to remain a theater actress. ↗

Mike Nichols asked if I would do The Birdcage. Mike and I are dear friends but he had never offered me a feature role in a movie. My television career opened other doors for me. ↗

You make a choice whether or not to turn that TV on. We didn't even have a television in the house. ↗

Bill Hanna and I owe an awful lot to television, but we both got our start and built the first phase of our partnership in the movies. ↗

I'm never at my best on television. There's a row of cameras between you and the audience, and it's very weird, very confusing. ↗
