Iberico de Bellota is best when cooked medium rare with a nice, pink center to allow the delicious acorn-infused flavor to come through.
In films, you have to follow the director’s vision. Filmmaking is a director’s medium. So everything happens as per the script and his vision.
In terms of writing characters or stories, at least initially, there’s no difference between live-action and animation. A good story is a good story, whatever the medium.
The entertainment medium of film is particularly tuned to the present imaginations of people at large. A lot of fiction is intensely nostalgic.
Television is such an evolving medium. When you’re doing a TV show, it’s not like you just shoot for six weeks and you’re in an editing room with all of your footage. It’s like a guitar or a car, you have to fine tune things. You stop doing what’s not working, you work on what is working and you add things that do work.
My metaphor for translation has always been that translation is really a performance art. You take the original and try to perform it, really, in a different medium. Part of that is about interpretation and what you think the author’s voice really is.
Video games are an exciting medium. The creativity of design, the technology and the interaction represent the best of American innovation.
The thing with videogame characters is that they tend to be really undercooked, and people don’t take the time to really flesh them out. They don’t treat them with the respect that a writer writing characters in any other medium would treat their character.
What’s the fundamental problem that VR solves better than anything? To me it’s straightforward. It’s story. VR tells stories better than any medium.

Five years ago, we thought of the Web as a new medium, not a new economy.
None of my books has been ever in my head; after they’re finished, they go. It’s like being a sort of medium; you just grab it when it’s there then just release it when it’s time to go. There’s a lot of instinct, not planning.
I don’t know if I’ll ever make rap music, but I just like people who are like, ‘I am going to just find the medium that’s best for this idea and master it and do that.’
With any new medium, the full power is only unearthed with experimentation.
Cryptocurrencies in general give us a stable medium through which we can communicate our information about values and prices in a way that no government mandarin can distort or usurp. For the predators who have used our central institutions to predate on the rest of humanity, it’s a very bad development.
The fact that radio is so hopeless at delivering data makes it an uncluttered medium, offering the basic story without the detailed trappings. But it does mean that if data is important, radio is probably not your place.
There must be a happy medium somewhere between being totally informed and blissfully unaware.
Film is mostly a visual medium, and so the director has much more control in terms of painting pictures and painting a performance. For theater, the director does everything he can and then says, ‘Out you go,’ and the actors are in charge of that stage every night.
But in the life of every man there are influences of a far more real and penetrating character than those which come through the medium of schools or teachers.
I hope this series is good work, but it is in the half-hour medium, which is limited to a kind of mediocrity that sponsors are just dying to have right now, and the public, for some reason, is unconsciously demanding.
I love listening to the radio because there’s something about that discovery, that platform, still being the main medium. And it is changing with streaming services, but I like to listen to what people are listening to and figure out why is this song so catchy.
Television is a populous, derivative, democratic medium.
I’m excited and nervous about every film; once I understand the medium fully, I’ll relax.
I used to hate, with a capitol H, making videos. It was nothing but a chore. It was something you had to do to have your music accepted in the visual medium.
The Indian business has largely grown on the back of exports. The domestic markets, as far as our Indian business is concerned, actually have contracted because of the contraction in the medium and heavy commercial vehicle space.
I like working in any medium. Who’s making it? How much do I like the story? Does it contribute something?
My heroes were Dylan, John Lennon and Picasso, because they each moved their particular medium forward, and when they got to the point where they were comfortable, they always moved on.
I’ve said this before, but I don’t like putting captions in my comic books. I feel, for me, they become a crutch, a way to ignore the essential fact that our medium is a visual medium, and the greatest pleasures to be derived from comics are how stories can be told with pictures.
One in five of our customers books for business. But it’s scaling very fast. As a result, we have tools for medium or small-sized companies to allow them set their price and give basic reporting functionality.
Ultimately, cinema is an actor’s medium.
Internet TV and the move to the digital approach is quite revolutionary. TV has historically has been a broadcast medium with everybody picking from a very finite number of channels.
I work in whatever medium likes me at the moment.

For all its power as a protest medium, black Twitter serves a great many users as a virtual place to just hang out.
Music is one field where your caste and religion is not important. People accept you so long as you can move them. It is a medium that allows you to fly beyond your caste.
Film is not an amazing medium to relay interiority. I think literature is much better for that.
I’ve said this many times: Rock ‘n’ roll is this magnet for dysfunctional people who only know how to communicate through the medium of a live show.
I thought the attractions of being an astronaut were actually, not so much the Moon, but flying in a completely new medium.
What we do in theatre is unlike film or any other medium. We can never really truly see the work that we made because we’re in in.
I recently did a piece for the Boston Pops and John Williams, and I hope that it’s as well a composed piece as I’ve ever done for any other medium or occasion.
Music can make the cerebral accessible, the subconscious hummable. It communicates our shared needs and desires as sentient beings better than any other medium.
Direct address has been a consistent tactic in my work, regardless of the medium that I’m working in.
Audiences in every medium are becoming far more savvy. No one goes to watch a Tom Cruise movie any more just because it’s starring Tom Cruise.
I don’t have a preferred medium of work, but like all actors, I do like to move from one to the other if possible.
Every opportunity to practice is a gift to the developing reader. Practice, practice, practice, in every form and medium!
It was like putting your foot into a pond and knowing that I wanted to dive into this. It wasn’t even just acting. It was this medium, film. I had to explore it.
I was born on TV, meaning that’s where I caught my break. So that’s where I always have to be smart and revisit that medium as much as I can.
I totally consider Fishbowl my full time job – I have to say I freaking love doing this blog. I just enjoy the medium so much; I love the fact that it requires me to read amazing stuff by hilarious and talented people and forces me to know what’s going on in the world.
You want to strike that happy medium: the balance of being able to find creative satisfaction in your profession, be able to afford a roof over your head, but still have the freedom to live a relatively normal life.
I’ve always enjoyed film, but I’m a little afraid of it because I think it is very powerful as a medium. You have the visuals, the sound, the colors, all of these things coming at you, and they transport you physically so it becomes this surround sound, virtual reality.
I prefer to have one gigantic laugh preceded by several smaller laughs rather than a bunch of medium laughs all along.
Music is therapy. Music moves people. It connects people in ways that no other medium can. It pulls heart strings. It acts as medicine.
Film is a medium where the audience gives you 100 per cent.
‘Fire Walk With Me’ was so divisive because the tone was so different than the TV series. But now television is almost more of a free medium than cinema.
I have been no more than a medium, as it were.
I mostly associated video game storytelling with unforgivable clumsiness, irredeemable incompetence – and suddenly, I was finding the aesthetic and formal concerns I’d always associated with fiction: storytelling, form, the medium, character. That kind of shocked me.
To be in a Pixar movie is just great to begin with, and it has afforded me the opportunity to do a different medium because I have never done voice-over before. And I love it.
