Fernseher / Telly Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Fernseher / Telly:

It's odd, because I used to see pictures, on telly or wherever, of what I now know to be Shaftesbury Avenue and I used to wonder what that amazing street with all the lights was. Well, now I know. I think when you get a wee taste of something, it maybe isn't what you thought it was. Shirley Henderson

I wouldn't want to leave it so long before doing a play again, I get very stolid and sluggish if I do too much telly.

Matthew Macfadyen

I'm aware families sit around the telly to watch 'Vera', which is making entertainment out of murder. But I don't enjoy reading about people's pain. I tend to put myself in that position, and it's not somewhere I want to be.

Ann Cleeves

Some British actors are snobby about telly, and I don't understand that.

Matthew Macfadyen

When I got a telly we had no aerial, but I discovered that if I or one of the children stood by it you could get a picture. So I had to make a statue that could stand by the telly.

Beryl Bainbridge

For me, a bit of anthropology in the evening is always better than staying and watching the telly.

Nick Rhodes

The power of telly is surprising. If you're in a six-part series, you're famous while it's on - people point in the street. Two weeks later it all goes back to normal.

Paul McGann

It takes time and energy, and if I'm working, then I'd rather flop in front of the telly than put on a tiny dress and work out how to get myself to God knows where. I mean, lazy some would call it.

Daisy Donovan

Turn up your radio. Watch lots of telly and eat loads of choc. Feel guilty. Stay up all night. Learn everything in six hours that has taken you two years to compile. That's how I did it.

Dawn French

I love nature - it's probably my most favorite thing. I don't watch much telly, the telly hardly goes on, but the things I do watch are sort of nature programs, and something about the oceans and the amount of weird fish that's in there.

Karl Pilkington

I'm not slim. I'm a curvy girl: I've got thighs and a bum. I don't mind baring the fact that I've got a bit of cellulite because everybody has. I find it off-putting when everybody on telly is the same size or looks the same build. For me, it's important for people to watch someone normal.

Vicky McClure

I love doing stand-up. It's so self-contained - you go there, you do it, you go home - but with telly, there are too many people involved with it with opinions. You have a product, and everyone wants to change it.

Jo Brand

Telly never has any smart, amusing intellectuals living on a council estate.

Caitlin Moran

I do look better on TV. In real life, I look scruffy and pale, and I get the worst kind of recognition... I get the 'Haven't we met somewhere before?' I suggest it might be because I'm on the telly, and they say, 'No, it's definitely not that. Wasn't it at so-and-so's party?'

Tom Ward

It gets slightly daunting if you're watching the telly and everybody's gorgeous. It's just so rubbish. And I'm grateful that it's not so much anymore - it's great to see.

Olivia Colman

I get recognised a fair bit. It goes up when 'Peep Show' or the sketch show is on the telly or when we're doing loads of interviews.

Robert Webb

I thought they were staring at me because I was gay. But it was because I was on the telly.

Julian Clary

I hate that thing that if you are over 45, and you're going to be on telly or make films, you have to do all this stupid stuff to your face. I would no more let someone stick a needle in my forehead than fly to the moon.

Lesley Manville

In the old days, a star was someone up there - you know, Greta Garbo - but a telly star was somebody you could approach.

Diana Rigg

How many times have we seen reality celebrities fall from grace - often through no fault of their own - and then go on a show like 'Celebrity Big Brother' and say, 'I want to show the public a different side of me.' And I'm screaming at the telly going, 'This is not therapy. This is voyeurism!'

Ricky Gervais

It definitely puts a strain on family life - I miss them like mad. Being a working mother I've been juggling house and career from day one. I want to hold out for telly for the second half of the year.

Louise Jameson

Very rarely will you listen to the radio in a judgmental way, the way you'll watch telly.

Clare Balding

I like to get up and get out. Otherwise you end up kicking about, and it's easy to flick the telly on; then before you know it, it is 11 A.M. and you haven't done anything.

Anton du Beke

I haven't really got much get up and go. I can't believe I'm on the telly. I'm so lazy.

Allan Carr

I think there's a far more general audience now because I've done more populist stuff on telly.

Jo Brand

Whenever I get a good script, I don't care whether it's telly or theatre or big screen - I'm not bothered.

Pete Postlethwaite

There are times when I think, if I were a bit more famous, life could be easier in terms of work because producers want bums on seats, and they're going to get bums on seats if they get a name, if you have had that series on telly.

Alexander Hanson

It's odd, because I used to see pictures, on telly or wherever, of what I now know to be Shaftesbury Avenue and I used to wonder what that amazing street with all the lights was. Well, now I know. I think when you get a wee taste of something, it maybe isn't what you thought it was.

Shirley Henderson

All my interesting stories are from before I was on television. Nothing interesting has happened to me since then. Maybe it's because the most interesting thing in my life is the show and that's on telly.

Graham Norton

If your pal or neighbour is in the SNP, you're more likely to listen to them than if you just turn on the telly and see me or Alex. The growth of membership is building a politically engaged community base that hasn't been there in my lifetime.

Nicola Sturgeon

I was never one for just sitting in front of the telly.

Giles Deacon

Commissioners are obsessed with young people, which is funny because they don't watch telly - only old people do.

Jennifer Saunders

I am a chef who happens to appear on the telly, that's it.

Gordon Ramsay

I slipped through every school I went to without leaving a trace. I was in no team; I was never a prefect. I was totally mediocre - well, I probably still am - but at places like Summer Fields and Eton, it's all about sport and doing your bit, and I always preferred to watch telly or read a book than run round a field.

Tom Parker Bowles

I spent as much time watching telly and films when I was a kid as I did lying around reading books. I think it's crazy that writers are only allowed to say that certain books have influenced them.

Nick Hornby

I want to go to Denmark and Scandinavia. We've been inundated with their telly recently, and I've never been to any of those countries. I really want to get to know the people. I quite fancy living there for a bit if I could take a month off. They just seem like upfront, friendly folk.

Sarah Alexander

The more telly you do, the more it feels like a factory.

Kevin Whately
