More quotes by Julian Fellowes

Julian Fellowes

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
The English country house is certainly an icon of British culture.
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
War makes early risers of us all.
Julian Fellowes
What you have to understand about period drama is that it's 'history light.
Julian Fellowes
Education. Experience. Or are they the same thing?
Julian Fellowes
I have derived enormous confidence from being a husband and father.
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
Nothing is harder to dramatize than happiness.
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
