Keenen Ivory Wayans

That's the thing about comedy, your intention is to be funny. Once it goes out to the world, you don't know how it's received. And that's the downside of the comedian. 90% of the room laughs-- or somebody may be crying. That's the chance you take."

Person

John Shaffner
"What drives us? What makes us so passionate about getting up at the crack of dawn and going to a stage and shivering eating nothing but a bagel and a cup of bad coffee? It's getting to play make believe."
Person

Lowell Bergman
"Don't think that you can just do these stories and there won't be consequences. And I don't mean by that things will change."
Person

Eartha Kitt
"I was in dire need of tremendous help in 1967, and like a starving cat I had to find a way to survive. Being cast in 'Batman' helped me now grow back into being successful name again. People recognized my name, and still do, because of Catwoman."
Person

Alan Perris
"I love television. Every job I've had had ups and downs, but overall it was wonderful. My secret is simply love the job you're doing. I'd always wanted to be in TV ever since we got our black and white in 1952."
Person

Randolph Mantooth
"Everybody says, 'Aren't you tired of being recognized for doing "Emergency!"?' No. I'm remembered for something that changed emergency medicine forever. That actually saved lives. How lucky can any one person be?"
Person

Ray Dolby
"Everybody laughed off what we were trying to do in creating a video recorder. You can't imagine the amount of snickering that went on in that late 1952 period when we were trying to build our first video tape recorder. Let's say we'd go into the lunch room or the coffee room to get a cup of coffee, and the other engineers would say, 'he's still working on that stuff? It's never gonna work.'"
Person

John A. Martinelli

"I got four Emmys. And I was very pleased I got a lot of nominations which I lost. I had a decade where out of the ten years, I got nine nominations. I'm proud of that. I'm not gonna be blasé and say it doesn't mean anything, it means a lot, as an editor."

Person

Joe Sedelmaier
"A sweet little lady asking 'Where's the beef?', fighting for the rights of elderly people. It was amazing! People would say "Are you looking for your next Clara Peller?" I never looked for the first Clara Peller. She was just there!"
Person

Perry Wolff

"My advice to aspiring television news producers? Make sure you're not telling any lies, and that your sources are correct. Don't let vanity get in the way of your reporting. And try to find another career. How about fashion?"

Person

Connie Britton

"'Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose' means many things to me. Everybody who was involved with Friday Night Lights holds it very dear because it was thematically the heartbeat of our show. More importantly than that, it really did impact some of the members of our audience."

Person

David Pollock

"Our writing process was probably the exact same process that we stayed with and that all comedy writers stay with. It's the very thing you see in the movies, two guys in a small room, two desks usually jammed together, a very unglamorous, spartan kind of a setting and just talking over each other and trying this, trying that, going backwards and forwards. Very disorganized, yet in its own way methodical and organized."

Person

Dick Enberg

"Each sports broadcast is a piece of theater. Football is a four act play. You set the scene in the first act, you develop the characters in the play, and the plot unfolds. You see how the characters fit within the drama. The sportscaster's job is to bring it all together to present a complete performance to the viewers."
