Showtime Stars Shine At Winter TCAs

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

When Showtime featured it’s new winter/spring lineup at the TCA’s recently, there were some great quotes from celebs! Here’s a few to keep you laughing, guessing, and in general enjoying your favorite Showtime shows just a bit more!

“You get a lot more free Tudors stuff.” — Linda Wallem, executive producer of Showtime’s Nurse Jackie, after show star Edie Falco was asked about the difference between working for Showtime and her old network, HBO

“She was welcomed with a warm embrace, and she was very — she was cool. She was really quite frightening, but she was — she was just very practical and, you know, took you through your paces. That was what we liked. And she’d get a cup of tea and sit down, and, you know, people really liked her company.” — Billie Piper, star of Showtime’s Secret Diary of a Call Girl, about what it was like to have a dominatrix visit the set and act as a consultant on the show.

“Well, I think six marriages does not make a man happy.” — Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who plays Henry VIII in Showtime’s The Tudors, on whether his character is going to get less likable as the series progresses.
