I have always been known for my glamour but I wanted to do something strong and substantial on TV, which is a woman dominated medium.

In the same manner if any nation wasted part of its wealth, or lost part of its trade, it could not retain the same quantity of circulating medium which it before possessed.

I work in a medium where I get to be totally invisible and I get great pleasure from that, being a pretty self-conscious person.
When you are adapting a book to a visual medium, you tend to leave a few things and add a few new ones.
I think I read films having grown up around the pre-production and post-production aspect of the filmmaking medium, a lot more than most young people who are in acting would have experienced. I do think about scripts in a different way. I can’t just read a script as an actor. I don’t know how to do that.
The USA marketing team are geniuses at what they do. They do the right kind of thing for every medium. They’re very active on social media; they’re releasing videos every day up to the premiere.

What’s great is that each medium has a unique set of things that it does and does well.

Obviously, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, and on some level, it’s sort of true.
In animation, there’s not a medium I believe that’s more collaborative. It is a team of people, of different disciplines, coming together. The decisions are made by consensus in many cases.

I bristle a little when the argument for film gets put into the nostalgia ghetto. Film is still the highest quality and best-looking image capture medium available. I don’t think it always will be. The digital image will get better, and it will eventually surpass the quality of the film image, but it isn’t there yet.
Comic books and graphic novels are a great medium. It’s incredibly underused.

Our strength in finance has led us to set up an international financial centre with medium and long-term objectives, especially to develop Islamic financial and insurance services.

Long-, medium- and short-grain rices differ in the amount and type of starch they have.
Snapchat works because using a selfie is way easier than texting or tweeting. Stories should adapt to the medium and do so without cheapening the story.

Movies’ mistrust of capitalism is almost as old as the medium itself.
The question I ask myself when adapting a book is how do I be true to the spirit and soul of the character? How would I describe this character in my medium?

I didn’t have a very starry school career, I was medium to above average, nothing special.
