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
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
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 mean the truth is, I've always been interested in the whole setup of the old world.
Julian Fellowes
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
I can be as contrary as I choose.
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
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
We live a life that is often spent in crowds - parties, festivals and first nights - so it's nice to avoid them.
Julian Fellowes
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
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
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
Life is a game in which the player must appear ridiculous.
Julian Fellowes
I just don't believe in generalisations.
Julian Fellowes
I think other people's depression is frightfully dreary, don't you?
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
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
War makes early risers of us 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
Sometimes the weekend gets hijacked by work, but as my mother would say, this is the right problem.
