I believe that the story is the most important element of any medium whether it's theater, film, TV.
Writers and painters have a medium that can foster self-effacements. Actors haven't. An actor can't hide himself behind paper or canvas. If you're not there your art's not there. That's why we actors are often such self-centered objects.
It doesn't matter what medium I perform, I just love to perform in general, if it's good work.
I love being a writer in a medium where they have to ask you, 'Can I change this line?'
The red carpet we roll out come sizzling medium rare.
The body is our general medium for having a world.
Television is such a mediocre medium.
My spirit life is also the medium in which I live. It's not something that comes and goes. Without one the other wouldn't exist.
I think I'm a fairly average person, I think I have only a medium IQ. I didn't go to college, obviously.
Propaganda has a bad name, but its root meaning is simply to disseminate through a medium, and all writing therefore is propaganda for something. It's a seeding of the self in the consciousness of others.
The theatre, for all its artifices, depicts life in a sense more truly than history, because the medium has a kindred movement to that of real life, though an artificial setting and form.
In my case, performance is part of the medium. Sometimes I feel that it's my main medium, and that the presentation of my poems on the page is secondary.
I think it's important that we all try to give something to this medium, instead of just thinking about what is the most efficient way of telling a story or making an audience stay in a cinema.
It was Vikram Bhatt and 'Raaz' that got me interested in the medium of cinema. Before that, I was like any other youngster dabbling with various things - modelling, films - without a definite direction or focus. Now that I'm working with all of them, life has come full circle for me.
Fans tend to get too excited by streaks of either kind and I think the press does too. There should be a happy medium.
The Net is pretty cool, but the physical world is the best medium ever.
Whenever the medium of photography is useful for a particular task, I use it. If another medium is more suitable I use that.
I'd say seeking is one of the fundamental artistic impulses. Art is about discovery. The medium is not the message.
Just because I use the photographic medium, that doesn't mean I'm a photographer.
To me, the art of cinema is the same as the art of painting. The artist takes a 2D medium and gives you the illusion of depth. If you look at any of the great paintings, you have the illusion of depth. Which is part of the art. The same with the great movies.
