More quotes by Julian Fellowes
War makes early risers of us all.
Julian Fellowes
Life is a game in which the player must appear ridiculous.
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 think every period - except for the 14th century, or something - has some merits.
Julian Fellowes
I always loved movies and the cinema we always used to go to see films as a family.
Julian Fellowes
I just don't believe in generalisations.
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
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 other people's depression is frightfully dreary, don't you?
Julian Fellowes
The English country house is certainly an icon of British culture.
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 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
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
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
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
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 mean the truth is, I've always been interested in the whole setup of the old world.
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
I'm seen as a chronicler of the class system, which I don't think is unfair.
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
