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.

More quotes by Julian Fellowes
Lawyers are always confident before the verdict. It's only after that they share their doubts.
Julian Fellowes
I think other people's depression is frightfully dreary, don't you?
Julian Fellowes
To me, all success is a delightful surprise, since one can absolutely never predict it.
Julian Fellowes
Sometimes the weekend gets hijacked by work, but as my mother would say, this is the right problem.
Julian Fellowes
Plenty of friendships are sustainable through dinners and lunches, but will not stand a week away. So be careful with whom you go on holiday.
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
I have derived enormous confidence from being a husband and father.
Julian Fellowes
Success means your thoughts are worthy of everyones consideration.
Julian Fellowes
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
No, while most people have been at their unhappiest when in love, it is nevertheless the state the human being yearns for above all.
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
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
Education. Experience. Or are they the same thing?
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
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
A lot of actors find it impossible not to ask for the audience's sympathy. They have a need to twinkle.
Julian Fellowes
You never know people, do you? You can work with 'em for twenty years you don't know 'em at all.
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
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
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.
