Radio is called a medium because it is rare that anything is well done.
I sold all my medium format equipment in 2005 after Canon came out with the 12 megapixel EOS 1Ds.
My dissatisfaction with television as a medium has nothing to do with the audience or the fact that you don't require as much time to do it as you do a movie, but with its technical limitations.
I think the written word is probably the best medium of communication because you have time to reflect, you have time to choose your words, to get your sentences exactly right. Whereas when you're being interviewed, say, you have to talk on the fly, you have to improvise, you can change sentences around, and they're not exactly right.
Film, I think, is my medium.
Television is such a mediocre medium.
In the past, if you did film, you couldn't do stage, and if you did film, you certainly didn't do television. You had to pick what you wanted to be. Now it seems like we can bounce around, not only between genres, but between mediums, and I like that. I like change and I like a good story.
It's every actor's dream to be seen on the big screen. Having said that, it's also imperative to better yourself as an actor all the time. In that, all mediums become important in their own ways.
Music was the medium through which knowledge was passed from generation to generation.
I was drawn to photography as an extension of film, and the beauty of film is that it's a sensuous, fetishistic medium.
Time lessens all extremes and reduces 'em to mediums and unconcern.
Stand-up comedy is like the lowest medium in all of show business in levels of respect.
Art is the ideal medium for making contact with the transcendental, or at least for getting close to it.
The difference between the arts arises because of the difference in the nature of the mediums of expression and the emphasis induced by the nature of each medium. Each means of expression has its own order of being, its own units.
I feel that film is inevitably the medium of the future. It has been for years, decades, but more so now than ever.
Maybe black and white is the best medium for landscapes, I don't know.
Movies are now more often watched on the small screen anyway. But at least for me, what got lost in that is the difference in the medium.
One of the reasons I love to jump back and forth between mediums is that film does allow me to be more literal. I can go to the real place. I can go to the Coliseum, and I don't have to fake it.
I use music as a medium to talk to people.
It doesn't matter what medium I perform, I just love to perform in general, if it's good work.
