More quotes by 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
I think American television changed world television in its reinvention of the series.
Julian Fellowes
If we don't respect the past, we'll find it harder to build a future.
Julian Fellowes
What you have to understand about period drama is that it's 'history light.
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
To me, all success is a delightful surprise, since one can absolutely never predict it.
Julian Fellowes
Success means your thoughts are worthy of everyones consideration.
Julian Fellowes
Sometimes the weekend gets hijacked by work, but as my mother would say, this is the right problem.

Julian Fellowes
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

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
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
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
The English country house is certainly an icon of British culture.
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
Life is a game in which the player must appear ridiculous.
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
I have derived enormous confidence from being a husband and father.
