Television tends to be a more difficult medium for me to get my head around sometimes when it comes to certain things I get offered.

Bill Pullman

I'm usually quite good at learning things, but I just don't find the business stuff that interesting, so it makes it harder to get my head around.

Holly Branson

I can see how you could get dragged into the bad stuff, but I've got good friends around me, good family. I think I've got my head screwed on.

Harry Styles

I get offered to do stuff where the money's nice but it's not something I want to do - I get offered a lot of commercials too.

Spike Lee

Fred Silverman, the head of ABC, he offered me a lot of comedy series but I told him I'd already been the best comedy series around, "The Odd Couple," and so when he saw that I did Quincy he called my agent and said, Jack turns me down? All my good series and he ends up playing an undertaker." And this was the HEAD of ABC series.

Jack Klugman

It's so hard when you're young to look at older people and understand that they have been where you are. It's the weirdest thing. You just can't get your head around that, can you? You can't get your head around the fact that someone who is 60 was once 16, if you're 16. But the fact is they have been, and they remember it.

Helen Mirren

If you are going to write, say, fantasy - stop reading fantasy. You've already read too much. Read other things; read westerns, read history, read anything that seems interesting, because if you only read fantasy and then you start to write fantasy, all you're going to do is recycle the same old stuff and move it around a bit.

Terry Pratchett

Can't get my head around sci-fi or fantasy. I'm not putting those genres down; it's just that I'm not built for them.

George Pelecanos

I haven't been offered a lot of comedy. In theater, I've done quite a bit of comedy or dramas that included a lot of funny stuff. But in my TV work, those aren't the roles that I've been offered.

Mireille Enos

When you walk around, you have all this stuff rattling around in your head, things that have happened to you, things you have read. Life is just life, and you get what you get out of it.

Elif Batuman

I don't get the stuff that I carry around in my head from TV, and especially I don't get the stuff that I carry around in my heart from TV.

Bob Weir

I've definitely read stuff that I've been offered where I've been like, 'I can't do this. I think somebody would be better in this than me.' I don't want to do something if I don't feel like I can do a good job serving the material.

Molly Shannon

Fantasy gets a mixed reception - a lot of fantasy is formulaic but most of the award-winning fantasy on the contrary tends to be the stuff at the edges of the genre, rather than swimming in the middle.

Graham Joyce

I love The West Wing for many reasons. The show has been a fantasy. But we have offered a parallel universe to reality.

Martin Sheen

'Filk' is the folk music of the science fiction and fantasy community - you get parodies, you get traditional music that's had the words slightly modified, and you'll also get just original works that have been written about science fiction and fantasy works, or with science fiction and fantasy themes.
