A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
电视
Television
I'm very humble in terms of knowing that television is an extraordinary collaborative medium and that one person alone cannot make a great TV show.
我非常谦虚，因为我知道电视是一种非凡的合作媒体，一个人不可能做出伟大的电视节目。
I have this phobia: I don't like mirrors. And I don't watch myself on television. If anything comes on, I make them shut it off, or I leave the room.

Mass communication, radio, and especially television, have attempted, not without success, to annihilate every possibility of solitude and reflection.

I always say if you've seen good acting on television, those actors are really good. Because there's just not enough time. You don't have any preparation.
我总是说，如果你在电视上看过好的表演，那些演员真的很棒。因为时间不够了。你没有任何准备。
Recently I've been participating in radio and television talk programs doing broadcasts and conferences, and shooting my mouth off and really going to town.

Television won't be able to hold on to any market it captures after the first six months. People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night.

The threat to free television. The reason television is free is because it is a life support system for commercials. That fundamental aspect is about to change.
对免费电视的威胁。电视是免费的，因为它是广告的生命维持系统。这一基本方面即将改变。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
We don't see the people who are doing real things getting enough props. We often see politicians who are everywhere but nowhere at the same goddamn time. You know the kind of person: You see them everywhere on television but nowhere in front of your face.
