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