Film is such a powerful medium. It’s like a weapon and I think you have a duty to self-censor.
I am committed to strengthening our agricultural economy by protecting the unique interests of small and medium size family farms so that they can continue to operate.
I think theatre is an actor’s medium, while cinema is a director’s medium.
But, in fairness to them, too, the popular song per se is really a pretty shallow medium to perform in.
The truth is that filmmaking is not really an actor’s medium; it’s really a director’s medium, so all I can really control is the character that I’m playing. So I try to look for characters that are interesting and engaging and different than what I’ve done before and hopefully it becomes a good movie.
As films are a mass medium, if more people love your work, it is better.
The Internet is far more engaging as an interactive medium than broadcast. Barriers to creating content are going away; they’re almost gone. People are taking control of their entertainment. People are Tweeting, posting on Facebook and YouTube.
I think, in any sort of medium, repetition makes you better at your trade.
Film is a very intimate medium.
One of the virtues of ‘The X-Men’ was that it managed to transcend the expectations and prejudices of the medium. It appealed to a vaster audience than anyone had ever anticipated from any superhero book, much less ‘X-Men.’
My use of the medium – photography – is in some ways traditional.
I am always up for new and different things, regardless of the medium.
I didn’t realize I was working in a family medium.
For most of our users, the vast majority of their MySpace friends are also offline friends. They’re just connecting through a different medium when they’re on MySpace.
I think I’m becoming more relaxed in front of a camera. I suppose I’ll always feel slightly more at home on stage. It’s more of an actor’s medium. You are your own editor, nobody else is choosing what is being seen of you.
When ‘Jewel’ was screened, old friends from school and university got back in touch. More than one of them told me that their partners hated Merrick so much they could not think of having me in the house. This kind of audience identification does not happen in any other medium.
‘Your Name”s success told me movies still have the power to connect with society. As a medium, it still has a power that resonates.
Being an artist is dragging your innermost feelings out, giving a piece of yourself, no matter in which art form, in which medium.
We relate comics to the main super-heroes, but it’s a great medium through which all sorts of stories are told.
People are mostly focused on defending the computers on the Internet, and there’s been surprisingly little attention to defending the Internet itself as a communications medium.
Television itself is an intimate medium. It’s in your house. You’re visiting with these people… Not everybody’s going to like it, just like not everybody likes everybody on the playground. I mean, that’s life – especially if your job is to just go out there and be yourself.
When I am searching for a character, I leave myself open, as does a medium. And I think that sometimes you can be inhabited by the spirit of someone who lived at some time or who was a bit like the person you are doing. And maybe they come in and use you as a chance to relive again.
I’ve love to do more movies. Just because I’m interested in the medium very much. I’ve done a lot of theatre at this point, and I’ve done a lot of TV. I’ve done a few independent films, but a lot of them have not seen the light of day. It’d be really nice to be in a film that gets out there.
I enjoy all aspects of it, I don’t have a preference for any medium. I think each of them has its attractions and I would hope they each inform the other in some way.
There was a Burger King in Hamilton, N.Y., where Colgate is, that had three sizes: Small, Medium, and Liter. I would go in there and order a large. And they’d say, ‘We don’t have large; we have liters.’ So they’d make us order liters of cola, which I found to be just anti-American.
Early on, QVC was the most appealing medium for me because it allowed me to share the stories behind my products and directly communicate the features and benefits.
I think that, again, filmmaking is the director’s medium in the end, and the best thing a producer can do is stay out of the way and support the director one hundred percent.
Our generation’s grown up with the Internet, so it’s an extension of our social lives; it’s an extension of us. It makes perfect sense for me to use that medium.
Television is a real woman’s medium… but what’s disturbing is, still even in television, women have so little to do with what’s going on behind the scenes.
Communication is paramount, and what medium or what format you utilize should be a non-issue. In some respects, that has created a barrier for new media, especially web new media, because often times maybe the media itself comes before the concept, before the ideas, and ends up navigating or dictating the outcome.
I have always been so interested in film as a medium.
The first prerogative of an artist in any medium is to make a fool of himself.
Most people return small favors, acknowledge medium ones and repay greater ones – with ingratitude.
Calling ‘Instagram’ a photo-sharing app is like calling a newspaper a letter-sharing book, or a Mozart grand era symphony a series of notes. ‘Instagram’ is less about the medium and more about the network.
TV’s a wonderful medium: this intimate way of observing how a successful family operates and deals with each other.
Video games are the first new artistic medium since television, but they are more different from television than television was from cinema; they are the newest new thing since the arrival of the movies just over a century ago.
It’s an actor’s job to play all the human conditions – light, dark, and medium.
For the whole history of cinema, we’ve been experiencing movies and television through a two-dimensional, letterboxed window. But once you can start programming entertainment for all the different senses, it becomes a wholly different medium.
I love the medium and I love individual comics, but the business is nothing I would be proud of.
Films are a fantastic medium and the huge impact they have cannot be denied.
Film seems to be a medium designed for betrayal and violence.
Music is the only medium by which everyone is connected in the world.
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. No one gives a toss. Concept is what makes actors raise their game. Everyone’s on merit now.
Television tends to be a more difficult medium for me to get my head around sometimes when it comes to certain things I get offered.
For three or four decades, we’ve been sitting here in front of this TV consuming a one-way medium that we had no control over.
This circulating medium has a natural tendency to lessen by degrees the value and the use of money, and finally to render it powerless; and consequently to sweep away all the crushing masses of fraud, iniquity, cruelty, corruption and imposition that are built upon it.
Feature filmmaking is a very powerful medium. It has a hold on me now.
We recognised Urdu as the second official language and made it a medium of examination in all Bihar Public Service Commission tests.
In fact, in lyric poetry, truthfulness becomes recognizable as a ring of truth within the medium itself.
A short film is just another storytelling medium like TV, Features, and Webisodes. I am just thrilled that ‘Silent Cargo’ is getting out there for people to see.
Interestingly, I never thought I’d do an adaptation. I’ve also been quite against them. I think trying to translate one medium to another is wrong. I never really felt that books fitted into film. Generally people are disappointed, aren’t they?
Money’s just a medium. I am extremely wealthy in all other regards.
Cartooning at its best is a fine art. I’m a cartoonist who works in the medium of animation, which also allows me to paint my cartoons.
TV – a clever contraction derived from the words Terrible Vaudeville. However, it is our latest medium – we call it a medium because nothing’s well done.
Film is a temporal medium as much as it is a visual medium: you’re playing with time, and you don’t have that ability where someone can pause at home. That’s such a fundamental part of what makes filmmaking exciting to me. I don’t really have as much interest in any other medium. I just like the control.
What you need if you want jobs are small and medium sized enterprises, local initiatives, labour intensive work, community development, service providers and the like.
I am not a psychic medium. I am a sensitive.
What other people are adapting from the comics medium, I watch with as much interest as I do any other movies. Because I’m a fan, and I want to see what other people are doing in the world.
The model I came up with in 1964 is just the invention of a rather strange sort of medium that looks the same in all directions and produces a kind of refraction that is a little bit more complicated than that of light in glass or water.
