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
Image
A lot of actors find it impossible not to ask for the audience's sympathy. They have a need to twinkle.
Julian Fellowes
Image
In the end, drama is successful if you care about the people.
Julian Fellowes
Image
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.

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.

To me, all success is a delightful surprise, since one can absolutely never predict it.
Julian Fellowes
Image
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
Image
I'm seen as a chronicler of the class system, which I don't think is unfair.
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 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
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
Image
You never know people, do you? You can work with 'em for twenty years you don't know 'em at all.
Julian Fellowes
Image
The English country house is certainly an icon of British culture.
Julian Fellowes
Image
What you have to understand about period drama is that it's 'history light.
Julian Fellowes
Image
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.

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.

If there's one thing I don't look for in a maid, it's discretion. Except with my own secrets, of course.
