War makes early risers of us all.
Julian Fellowes
The moment I was introduced to my wife, Emma, at a party I thought, here she is - and 20 minutes later I told her she ought to marry me. She thought I was as mad as a rat. She wouldn't even give me her telephone number - and she wrote in her diary: A funny little man asked me to marry him.
Julian Fellowes
I'm seen as a chronicler of the class system, which I don't think is unfair.
Julian Fellowes
What is a week-end? Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey.
Julian Fellowes
If we don't respect the past, we'll find it harder to build a future.
Julian Fellowes
Life is a game in which the player must appear ridiculous.
Julian Fellowes
I think American television changed world television in its reinvention of the series.
Julian Fellowes
A lot of actors find it impossible not to ask for the audience's sympathy. They have a need to twinkle.
Julian Fellowes
What you have to understand about period drama is that it's 'history light.
Julian Fellowes
I think it's always a challenge to adapt something from one medium to another - a novel into a film or a play into a movie or whatever.
Julian Fellowes
Leave three Englishmen in a room and they will invent a rule that prevents a fourth joining them.
Julian Fellowes
There are many nations that have perfected a particular room. You know, you have the French drawing-room, the Austrian ball room, the German dining room, and I think the library is a room the English get right.
Julian Fellowes
I mean the truth is, I've always been interested in the whole setup of the old world.
Julian Fellowes
Today, people often make the American mistake of confusing acquaintances with friends. The former are there to share life's pleasures only the latter should be invited to share one's problems.
Julian Fellowes
Nothing is harder to dramatize than happiness.
Julian Fellowes
What's difficult for American audiences is that they're used to a system here where you can get an actor for five years or even seven, and that is signed for at the audition. Whereas in England, no agent will give you an actor for more than three years.
Julian Fellowes
If you're in the movie or in television, your failures are very public, and so are your successes. You weigh them up against each other, really.
Julian Fellowes
When you are desperate to get someone who isn't all that interested in you, you lay siege as hard as you can.
Julian Fellowes
In the end, drama is successful if you care about the people.
Julian Fellowes
Maggie Smith has a unique sense of comedy, based on a somewhat ironic view of real life, making it both funnier and more sad. But perhaps her greatest ability, or at least the one that most intrigues me, is how she can convey deep and powerful emotion without a trace of sentimentality.
