It would be a shame if the BBC didn't exist.
Sometimes the British press is maybe a little bit racist.
I trained as a journalist in America where paying sources is frowned upon. Now I work in the U.K. where there is a more flexible attitude.
The U.K. needs more first class studio space to encourage the growth of the film and TV sector.
When you think about the 'X Factor,' you're always going to think about Cheryl because she was a massive part of it. Huge.
The multiculturalism of Britain is one of our greatest strengths in music, literature, and visual art, but the TV and film industry doesn't tap into the multicultural talent pool in the U.K. as much as they do in the U.S.
Britain is a very small country with a very large press.
In the U.K., journalists are a little bit more ruthless than in Denmark. I have a feeling the tabloid press in the U.K. is pretty harsh.
In the U.K., we have a paper called 'The Daily Mail,' which is quite misogynist. And every day, it just writes pieces about: 'Women, you're going to die now! Women, here's shoes that give you cancer! Women, just hate yourselves!'
I started in television in the U.K., and I've always wanted to get back into TV.
I like the best of the British press. The best of the British press is very good.
Why do British people make such good TV? It's so annoying. Stop it. Is it because they have free health care? Uggh.
I love the BBC and I think it's a really important thing.
If we lose the BBC it would be a disaster for the entire country. I genuinely believe that.
The U.K. has been very progressive about on-demand, and the iPlayer has been a great invention. It has trained a generation of viewers to expect on-demand - unfortunately, it trains them to expect free!
Do we have good writers, producers and actors in the U.K.? Yes we do.
People knew that Murdoch's media estate in the UK was too powerful and it was doing very unpleasant things.
I've always been conscious of the fact that there aren't enough Irish voices on British television compared to the amount of Irish people who live there.
I always wanted to work on films, and when I was starting in television in this country, in Great Britain, there really wasn't any film to be made.
When I fly British Airways, I can't help but read the free Daily Mail, which makes me glad I am leaving the country.
I would not rule out Rupert Murdoch once again having control of 'Sky News.'
