More quotes by Julian Fellowes
I always loved movies and the cinema we always used to go to see films as a family.
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
Life is a game in which the player must appear ridiculous.
Julian Fellowes
What is a week-end? Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey.
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
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
We live a life that is often spent in crowds - parties, festivals and first nights - so it's nice to avoid them.
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
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
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
Sometimes you watch one of your favorite shows from 20 years ago and you think, 'I'm loving this, but golly, it's going at the speed of a snail.'
Julian Fellowes
I mean the truth is, I've always been interested in the whole setup of the old world.
Julian Fellowes
If we don't respect the past, we'll find it harder to build a future.
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
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
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
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
I just don't believe in generalisations.
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
