If there's one thing I don't look for in a maid, it's discretion. Except with my own secrets, of course.
Julian Fellowes
Image
Nothing is harder to dramatize than happiness.
Julian Fellowes
Image
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.

School visits are something I do fairly often: I always say to the students that somebody has got to end up with the interesting careers, so why not them?
Julian Fellowes
Image
I think I have a very detailed sense of observation. I am interested in the details of people's lives and what information these details give.
Julian Fellowes
Image
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
Image
I think American television changed world television in its reinvention of the series.
Julian Fellowes
Image
To me, all success is a delightful surprise, since one can absolutely never predict it.

If you're supposed to be a 'personality,' then you might as well have a personality.
Julian Fellowes
Image
I always loved movies and the cinema we always used to go to see films as a family.

War makes early risers of us all.

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

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.
