I think American television changed world television in its reinvention of the series.

I think Americans are wonderful film actors - the best in the world - but they are a very contemporary race and they look forward all the time.

I think the reason why people love 'Downton Abbey' is because all the characters are given the same weight. Some are nice, some are not, but it has nothing to do with class or oppressors versus the oppressed.

Sometimes you watch one of your favorite shows from 20 years ago and you think, 'I'm loving this, but golly, it's going at the speed of a snail.'

I don't just think regular season. I think playoffs. World Series. That's how I think.

Well, certainly I think American television is - that's proper TV.
