More quotes by Julian Fellowes
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.
Julian Fellowes
If you're supposed to be a 'personality,' then you might as well have a personality.
Julian Fellowes
Lawyers are always confident before the verdict. It's only after that they share their doubts.
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
What is a week-end? Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey.
Julian Fellowes
Sometimes the weekend gets hijacked by work, but as my mother would say, this is the right problem.
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 American television changed world television in its reinvention of the series.
Julian Fellowes
Sometimes it is quite surprising, the emotional intensity of it. I was in NY one day, in Barnes and Noble, and I could see this woman following me around and after a bit I stopped and said 'Hello' and she just looked at me and said: “PLEASE LET EDITH BE HAPPY!”
Julian Fellowes
War makes early risers of us all.
Julian Fellowes
If we don't respect the past, we'll find it harder to build a future.
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
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
The English country house is certainly an icon of British culture.
Julian Fellowes
To me, all success is a delightful surprise, since one can absolutely never predict it.
Julian Fellowes
There are many nations that have perfected a particular room. You know, you have the French drawing-room, the Austrian ball room, the German dining room, and I think the library is a room the English get right.
Julian Fellowes
I just don't believe in generalisations.
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 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
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
