Jeffrey Tambor Quotes

People have been predicting the death of television for 20 years now, and so far it's been entirely wrong. But it does seem viewership habits are starting to change.

I know so many people who actually just watch television on their computers now and don't even really watch their TV anymore.

People are really into on-demand consumption. I watch everything myself on demand.

Television is obviously changing; the way we consume media is changing, so I think it's natural that we are going to try different styles.

We're in this really different world of television where everybody is binge watching, and it almost doesn't matter where you're airing.

People watch three or four episodes at a time of their shows.

I find myself watching cable and television much more than going to the movies.

I'm not a huge TV person, but when I do watch, it's always after the fact because I like to binge watch.

I think where it's going is toward what the music industry is like, where channels will be considered more like labels that carry the type of TV show that you like, and then you'll consume them however you can. For example, I don't really watch Showtime, but I bought 'Homeland,' and I've been watching every episode on my iPad.

I have Netflix, but I don't watch television.

What hasn't surprised me is that audiences, as we found starting with box sets, want control, to decide how they watch it. Appointment viewing is slowly being put slightly behind.

Now we live in this DVD, iTunes, Hulu age, and show creators and networks are realizing that and letting shows develop on those terms rather than 'We gotta just punch it week to week, man.' Now they're like, 'What will happen if someone watches the entire show?'

And the consumer doesn't care. They don't watch networks, they watch TV shows.

The whole industry is changing because so many people watch things on DVR, and they watch things on other platforms, and I think everybody is kind of scratching their heads about how this is going to play out.

I'm a big consumer of media and content online.

I think Netflix is responsible for what will become how we view television.

There's a huge migration of eyeballs from television screens to cellphones, tablets, and laptops. More and more people prefer to watch their favorite shows at a time and a place of their own choosing. Appointment TV only happens when you are waiting for the doctor.

The way that we're consuming what we watch. Netflix, binge-watching, destination agnostic were not terms. It was about networks, times, dates. Even with feature films, you had to see it this way, in this capacity, at this time. All that has changed. Now it's really about the story. It's a gift that I became a storyteller at this time.

There's a real difference now in what you can get out of film and the rise of digital platforms.

I think that with these streaming shows, sometimes it takes a little time for everybody to - because they know they have time, you know it's up there - you'll get to it when you get to it. It sort of like, 'Oh, it's on my list.'

We recognize that the whole world is kind of moving in this direction to digital distribution, but at the same time, there are still people who only watch movies in a movie theater, and there are some people who only watch certain programs on television or certain things on Netflix.

People have started consuming very privatised content. Initially, it used to be community viewing at the cinema, where you look forward to ice cream in the interval and then on to your dressing and dining rooms. Today, it's gotten so privatised that you're watching things on your mobile phone. That is a massive amount of change.

With platforms like Netflix, things are evolving as they are making content-driven films and series.

Web is going to become very big... The format is different in terms of its storytelling pattern and its duration. Web audience enjoys watching stuff on the go, they prefer to watch it alone. It is isolated viewing while cinema is collective viewing.
