More quotes by 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 think other people's depression is frightfully dreary, don't you?
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
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
What you have to understand about period drama is that it's 'history light.
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
Life is a game in which the player must appear ridiculous.
Julian Fellowes
War makes early risers of us all.
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
The moment I was introduced to my wife, Emma, at a party I thought, here she is - and 20 minutes later I told her she ought to marry me. She thought I was as mad as a rat. She wouldn't even give me her telephone number - and she wrote in her diary: A funny little man asked me to marry him.
Julian Fellowes
I mean the truth is, I've always been interested in the whole setup of the old world.
Julian Fellowes
To me, all success is a delightful surprise, since one can absolutely never predict it.
Julian Fellowes
Leave three Englishmen in a room and they will invent a rule that prevents a fourth joining them.
Julian Fellowes
I just don't believe in generalisations.
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
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
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
Lawyers are always confident before the verdict. It's only after that they share their doubts.
Julian Fellowes
What is a week-end? Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey.
