One thing we know for sure is that the Web is a collaborative medium unlike any we’ve ever had before. We see people working together, playing together, interacting in social settings using these media. We hope that will emerge as the new tool for education.
What I do believe is theatre is a medium with a peculiar ability to air vital issues.
Movies are an editor’s medium.
‘Record Without A Cover’ was about allowing the medium to come through, making a record that was not a document of a performance but a record that could change with time, and would be different from one copy to the next.
By 1949, there was no more work for me out there, and I went to New York in 1950 and just did whatever I could. Mainly television. Some Broadway. A lot of dinner theater work, which is not a very satisfactory medium.
Aggression is the most common behavior used by many organizations, a nearly invisible medium that influences all decisions and actions.
I finally realized the happy medium, ‘honey blonde’ was the correct color and line for me.
As long as I am given the opportunity to keep performing and keep exploring in whatever medium, I’ll be happy. As long as I get to spend time with my family, I’ll be happy. As long as I can write in some form, I’ll be happy. It is the essential things like that I equate with happiness.
It’s better to be on a soap opera to renew your career and following than to be on any other medium.
The novel is a highly corrupt medium, after all – in the end the vast majority of them simply aren’t that great, and are destined to be forgotten.

Creation is dominated by three absolutely different factors: First, nature, which works upon us by its laws; second, the artist, who creates a spiritual contact with nature and his materials; third, the medium of expression through which the artist translates his inner world.
My ultimate goal is to serve the country, the party or medium does not matter.
Whatever the medium, there is the difficulty, challenge, fascination and often productive clumsiness of learning a new method: the wonderful puzzles and problems of translating with new materials.
Hollywood is a town; it’s not a medium. And cinema is a medium you can practice anywhere.
Mini-series are my favorite medium to act in because it’s the right amount of pages you shoot a day, it’s the right amount of time that you’re with a character, and they really advertise it a lot so that people get excited for this epic event.
If you hit a routine fly ball in the big leagues, you’re out every time. If you hit a ground ball, you’re probably out a lot of the time as well. But there’s a happy medium in there, a way to swing where your misses can still lead to successes.
Movies are a director’s medium, and they end up getting less credit than actors. They get the flak if the movie doesn’t do well, and the actor walks away with most of the credit if the film does well.
I actually prefer Twitter as a medium, and I also got into Periscope for a second, but I’m still trying to figure out what to do with it. I can’t figure out if the only important thing about it is the live broadcast, or if it’s an interesting kind of way to log what you do.
In visual perception a color is almost never seen as it really is – as it physically is. This fact makes color the most relative medium in art.
I think in daily newspapers, the way comic strips are treated, it’s as if newspaper publishers are going out of their way to kill the medium.
I prefer theater, but I love to do films, and I prefer theater primarily because I’ve done more. I know less about movies. You can’t lie in either medium. The wonderful thing is that the camera, just like an audience, is made out of skin – because celluloid is skin.
Television is such an evolving medium.
Acting is so exciting to me. It’s a thrill; otherwise I wouldn’t do it. Not to be hokey, but I think life is definitely worth living, whether you’re working or not. For an actor, the character is the thing… it doesn’t matter what medium you’re in. as long as you have something to do.
TV is our window on the world. It’s a powerful medium for great stories that become part of our very, very personal journey.
I understand the bad rap that 3-D is getting because the conversions are crappy and because the films aren’t designed for 3-D. It’s a completely different medium.
The nation did not begin to realize the extraordinary possibilities of the vast Western territory until its attention was thus suddenly and definitely concentrated on the Pacific by the annual addition of over fifty million dollars to the circulating medium.
Universities are some of the few places left where a struggle for the commons, for public life, if not democracy itself, can be made visible through the medium of collective voices and social movements energized by the need for a politics and way of life counter to authoritarian capitalism.
Inspiration in Science may have to do with ideas, but not in Art. In art it is in the senses that are instinctively responsive to the medium of expression.
It is impossible to disregard such an important medium as television. We should know how to use it, learn to work in it and express new values in it.
I think funny is just the foundation. I don’t really think, to some extent, funny is the absolute most important thing. It should also communicate some idea through the medium of cartooning. Just to be funny is… You know what, the things that you laugh hardest at aren’t cartoons.
It betrays hubris on the part of the artist to think his medium is limiting him, and I think we all recognize this.
With ‘Sharknado,’ they’ve got a great mix of TV and film. This is a film that has film impact in the TV medium.
Focused reading is so important, and I’m just as guilty as everyone. I have to force myself to slow down, often printing things out or using print as a medium for things that are most important or for things whose beauty would be lost if I use other modes of reading.
We founded thatgamecompany to push the boundary of video games as an interactive medium.
Not a lot of people get a second chance. And I think for a while there, my name kind of got in my way a bit, based on all of the television I was fortunate enough to do. But after a while, you sort of wear out your welcome in that genre, in that medium.
I quiz all year. ‘The Chase’ is just a medium sized part of my quiz life.
In a popular medium, you’re going to get loads of stuff that is trite, but there’ll also be some really special moments.

There is no win-win or lose-lose in a situation. Everything is a medium.
I think at any point, as an artist, whatever the medium – just having an audience means the world.
When the impulses which stir us to profound emotion are integrated with the medium of expression, every interview of the soul may become art. This is contingent upon mastery of the medium.
I seriously consider television to be the people’s medium.
Regardless of the business aspect of things, is there a reason that there isn’t a female Hitchcock or a female Scorsese or a female Spielberg? I don’t know. I think it’s a medium that really is built for the male gaze and for a male sensibility.
To me, music is music, and it’s not limited by the medium; it just encompasses everything.
The public should have access to unfettered communication and commerce, and the Internet is increasingly the medium where that takes place.
For a writer, working in television is an incredibly rewarding medium. You’re in charge of all aspects of production and get to see your vision come to life every week.

I think space will be conquered through the mind rather than the clumsy medium of space travel.
Dreamland is a book, but it’s my song in book form. It’s translated itself into a different medium.
The beauty of stand-up is that it’s very flexible, it’s very malleable and immediate. Whatever is in your head that day you can verbalise in some way that night. It’s the medium that suits me best.
It dawned on me that comics were not an intrinsically limited medium. There was a tremendous amount of things you could do in comics that you couldn’t do in other art forms – but no one was doing it. I figured if I’d make a try at it, I’d at least be a footnote in history.
I like the medium boys. Not real perfect, but not too bad, either.
My stuff is observational, what people do with their lives from the angle of a man that can’t pull it off. So if I talk about having a family, it would be through the medium of a man who is in no fit state to be given a child to look after.
Artists’ obsessions with technology are not new, but in the late aughts, the work tended to focus on the possibility of the medium, treating technology like a new tool rather than a sociopolitical framework.
I love documentaries. It’s actually my favorite medium of film.
