More quotes by 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
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
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
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
The movies are funny, in one way, because you think of everyone being as beautiful as the dawn, but that isn't true.
Julian Fellowes
Sometimes it is quite surprising, the emotional intensity of it. I was in NY one day, in Barnes and Noble, and I could see this woman following me around and after a bit I stopped and said 'Hello' and she just looked at me and said: “PLEASE LET EDITH BE HAPPY!”
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
I think Americans are wonderful film actors - the best in the world - but they are a very contemporary race and they look forward all the time.
Julian Fellowes
People tend to view history as if it were another planet and think the modern world was invented in 1963. I don't agree.
Julian Fellowes
Life is a game in which the player must appear ridiculous.
Julian Fellowes
I think other people's depression is frightfully dreary, don't you?
Julian Fellowes
You see, in America, it's quite standard for an actor to sign, at the beginning of a series, for five or seven years. The maximum any British agent will allow you to have over an actor is three years.
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.
Julian Fellowes
Nothing is harder to dramatize than happiness.
Julian Fellowes
What you have to understand about period drama is that it's 'history light.
Julian Fellowes
To me, all success is a delightful surprise, since one can absolutely never predict it.
Julian Fellowes
I just don't believe in generalisations.
Julian Fellowes
In the end, drama is successful if you care about the people.
Julian Fellowes
I can be as contrary as I choose.
