I was never one for just sitting in front of the telly.
One thing I love and miss when I'm on the road is company when sitting in front of the box. I love watching telly with my fella.
In 'Changeling,' I tried to show something you'd never see nowadays - a kid sitting and looking at the radio. Just sitting in front of the radio and listening. Your mind does the rest.
I can honestly say that throughout the 70s I never watched telly. I can remember 'Dr Who' and 'Morecambe and Wise' vaguely, but my generation didn't watch telly.
Phillip Schofield has always been my primary crush. Sure, I danced in front of the telly when Shakin' Stevens was on Top of the Pops, but that was because my rudimentary grasp of how telly works made this five-year-old think she could be seen by him. So that was less love, more showing off.
The only distinction I'd make is between film and telly, I guess. "Film," "movies," and "cinema" are all synonyms as far as I'm concerned; but telly is different. It's just a plodding we've-done-this-scene, we've-done-that-scene and it never becomes this new other thing.
For me, I had just come from kids telly, 'Dancing on Ice' was the first grown-up telly I had ever done.
I just wanted to get on telly. I wasn't a massive Oasis fan, but I had to be in order to get on the telly.
There's nothing quite like sitting watching the telly on a Saturday night. It has such a nice, homely feel.
If money is free speech, the big interests are sitting in front with megaphones and the average citizens are sitting in the back.
There are houses where they don't any longer have dining tables. They will sit in front of the telly and eat.
Pretty much every comic that you see live is going to be slighter ruder, slightly darker and slightly more scary. But there are restrictions when you're on the telly. I'm not trying to rude it up for live. I just have to restrict myself on the telly.
I think shows like 'Dancing on Ice,' 'X Factor' and 'Britain's Got Talent' make great telly, but I'd never want to be contestant. I'm far too insecure and competitive. Also, working in theatre, you're being judged all the time - and I'd rather not be told I'm awful in front of millions of people!
Every footballer wants to play in big games, in front of full houses, live on the telly.
I love telly so much and I come from a telly background, I used to work in production.
Being an anchor is not just a matter of sitting in front of a camera and looking pretty.
The hardest people to play in front of are my brothers and friends from childhood, because I can never take them seriously. I know when they're sitting in the stands; it's constant jokes. They're just waiting on me to shoot an air ball or dribble the ball off my foot so they can laugh.
