Eddie Kean

"'Howdy Doody' was actually a soap opera for kids with a cliffhanger every night, just not the kind to keep a four-year- old, which was the median age of our audience, awake at night."

"It is a very, very good job, but it takes a lot of work, and it takes responsibility. You are responsible to the audience for who you're playing. You're responsible to your writers and your producer for the character, And you are extremely responsible to your fellow actors. There are people who don't realize that."
Person

Lynwood King

"I have always been a stickler of not wanting the crew to do anything that I would not do. If lighting was started at 3:00 A.M., which it did, I would be there no later than 3:30."

Person

Ruth Warrick
"When I first signed up to do soaps, I would hear, 'How can Mrs. 'Citizen Kane' belittle herself in a soap opera?' But Orson Welles told me, 'That's nonsense. The best acting on television is in the daytime. Those people are the real storytellers. They're the real actors and actresses.' I was very grateful for that. And I tend to agree."  
Person

Susan Lucci
"My husband picked me up by my elbow and took me over to the stage. Shemar Moore gave me the Emmy. And when I turned around and I saw the whole room on their feet…I didn't even know if I could speak let alone remember a speech! I'll never forget that as long as I live. It was an amazing, amazing moment."
Person

James L. Loper
"The main purpose of The Academy is to recognize excellence in television. The challenge long term is we have more television and more organizations producing television. It's a fact of life today that we face these multiple cable outlets and satellite transmissions and all kinds of things. The Academy looks forward to how to best cope with that and the judging structure."

"One of the attitudes of 'Sesame Street' has been that children, even tiny ones, have a sense of humor. The other is that they are people. You don't get down on your knees and talk in a tiny voice. I think those are the strengths and the uniqueness of the show."
