A Quote by Brett Goldstein

So in 'Ted Lasso,' which is an American show but set in the UK and most of the cast are British, I think that's what's interesting and what was a risk and what worked: there are two sensibilities.
The same thing that happened to Ted Lasso in the show, his expansion beyond those initial perceptions, happened to 'Ted Lasso,' the show. People thought it would be one thing, but no, it's a whole lot more.
One of the reasons I'm proud of the show and think it works is that as much as Ted is nice and he's kind and he's passionate, his troubles are real. He doesn't exist in a vacuum. The world of 'Ted Lasso' isn't a fairy tale.
I all but literally had a conversation with myself of like, 'You have to stop thinking about 'Ted Lasso.' It's not healthy to think about 'Ted Lasso,' it's not going to happen, it's just not going to happen, man.'
'Ted Lasso' has affected all of us - affected the cast, affected the crew, affected the writers. You can't really make a show like this without being accountable, and looking at your own behavior.
'Ted Lasso' is many things, and I think at its worst, it's a show that is nice and shows that people can be kind and also funny.
Something I think is amazing about 'Ted Lasso,' and we didn't know if it would work, but it's funny when you think about it, in that it's quite unique, but from the responses that we're getting, it seems to be a show that people watch with their families.
I love the love that you see for 'Ted Lasso,' but there's also, I think, a kind of simplification of the show. Particularly from people who haven't seen it and are only aware of the hype and probably get annoyed with it.
'Switched at Birth' has an amazing cast, including an Oscar winner and two Emmy nominees. The writing is very innovative, and the show's producers have redefined U.S. TV by launching a mainstream show which includes multiple deaf cast members whose characters communicate only in ASL (American Sign Language).
We knew that Ted Lasso was at least an optimistic guy and an enthusiastic guy, and the show was going to emanate from his energy.
'Ted Lasso' is a show about a guy who is ignorant - he doesn't know anything about football. But he's not arrogant and he's not shouting people down.
My first book was the most successful debut novel in the UK ever and every one of my books has reached number one in the UK. Clearly the British know brilliance when they see it.
The hesitancy that was felt by clubs before we actually shot the first one essentially went away as soon as they saw it. That has now worked as a real calling card for us because now the Premier League knows about 'Ted Lasso.'
I know everyone claims that their cast is 'really close,' but I think the bond we share in 'Newsies' is unique. In the show, these boys risk everything in the name of brotherhood, and I feel that same way about the guys in my cast.
I've worked with non-professional actors, I've worked with movie stars, I've worked with kids, I've worked with older people, and I've found my job as a director is to cast them well and to understand what they need on set to bring the material to life.
My accent has changed my whole life. When I was younger, it was very Nigerian, then when we went to England, it was very British. I think I have a very strange, hybrid accent, and I've worked very hard to get a solid American accent, which is what I use most of the time.
The UK had plenty of people in their country just like we have here who had the same attitudes about immigration that you find on the American left and the Democrat Party here. That the Brits, because of colonialism and because the British Empire had been so unfair to people all over the world it was time to pay the price. And you had liberals who thought that all of this was making a grand diverse society and population which would improve things in the UK.
