Famous quotes containing the words television and/or film:
“Cultural expectations shade and color the images that parents- to-be form. The baby product ads, showing a woman serenely holding her child, looking blissfully and mysteriously contented, or the television parents, wisely and humorously solving problems, influence parents-to-be.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“A good film script should be able to do completely without dialogue.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
