"All my life I've been trained as a composer and it's something that gives me the deepest and most consistent pleasure."

Person

Arthur Hiller

“If live television was still around - that kind of excitement, I’d rather do that than film.”

Person

Steve Binder

"Good things happen when you stand up for things."

John Astin

"What 'The Addams Family' says is that it doesn’t matter what you’re like outside, it’s inside that counts. That’s why people who are disowned by society like the show so much. Real values are there underneath. During the run of the show psychiatrists wrote articles about how it was the healthiest show on the air. It was an affirmation of life."

Person

Michael Fuchs
"HBO was primitive when I got there. It didn't know what it could be, what it should be, or how to get there. Serendipitously, a really interesting collection of people came together. We had lots of laughs - I never did a meeting without a joke. If you go talk to old HBO people just ask them, 'What was it like back then?' It was Camelot to us."
Person

Joseph Behar

"I have high energy on the set. I don't like anything to slow it down. When I go in there, I tell you exactly what to do, and where to go and how to do it. We don't have time to discuss anything at length."

Person

Alex Anderson
"I created the concept of Rocky the flying squirrel and he had to have a teammate. I thought, squirrels are up in the north woods, maybe a moose would be a good possibility, so I came up with Bullwinkle the moose. There was a fellow named Clarence Bullwinkle who had a used car lot in Oakland, and  I thought Bullwinkle was such a funny name, because Bull is usually followed by something not quite as appropriate as 'winkle.' It was a joke in itself."
Person

Daniel Schorr
"For a long time I said  I'd like to be remembered as the one who tried to find out what people needed to know and somebody wasn't telling them. Now in the age of Internet, when people are deluged with information, I want to change that. I want to say: you're getting information called data from everywhere. I want to help you to understand it."
Person

Bob Smith

"Kids would come home from school, sit in front of the television, listen to the recorded music and watch the test pattern until I got there. And at five-thirty we'd say, 'say kids, what time is it?' Then the whole world blasted out, 'it's Howdy Doody time!' If they were watching television, they were watching Howdy Doody."

Person

Berle Adams
"We were selling quality and we were selling MCA. We not only had quality, we had the best writers, the best directors, and the best producers."
