If we define pornography as any message from any communication medium that is intended to arouse sexual excitement, then it is clear that most advertisements are covertly pornographic.

To acquire balance means to achieve that happy medium between the minimum and the maximum that represents your optimum. The minimum is the least you can get by with. The maximum is the most you`re capable of. The optimum is the amount or degree of anythin...

Every medium has to be redeveloped, otherwise we would still be looking at cave paintings ... My desire to tell you stories is very strong but it`s difficult because I am looking for cinema that is non-narrative.
Peter Greenaway
The relationships between the characters were amazing, and we`ve actually forged real-life friendships as a result of working in the same studio. I think we all felt this show was something special. Very unusual for a medium where we do our parts individu...

The only thing I wanted to do when I was a young naive kid was to become a New York stage actor. I thought that would be nirvana. I think of myself as an actor. If other people want to pigeonhole me, if they want to think of me as a big deal or a medium d...

There is a contingent of the digital-effects community to whom that is the holy grail - to create photographically real humans. To me that is the dumbest goal that you could possibly have. What`s wonderful about the medium of animation isn`t recreating re...

I always have a rule that acting is acting and truth is truth and you just go out there and you do it. But what happens in each medium is that you have other responsibilities. The acting remains the same, but each medium dictates assuming other halves to ...

Cinema is a director`s medium, so you`re saying, "What do you want?" Being an actor is about adapting - physically and emotionally. If that means you have to look great for it and they can make you look great, then thank you. And if you have to have every...

Film is a very uncomfortable medium for an actor. It`s just not conducive to doing what actors do. The first few days of shooting are like you just getting over the fact that your there. These people and the camera over the shoulder and the light and the ...

I love, love, love the medium of film. But that is the strange dichotomy of film, is that the medium is so unbelievably magical and wonderful, and the business is so--UGH! It`s kind of the price you pay. Some friend of mine said you`re not getting paid to...

(On Acting): "The medium doesn`t matter. I`d like to be doing quality acting in a quality role and making as many people as possible happy."
John Larroquette
Film is not an actor`s medium. You shoot scenes in order of convenience, not the way they come in the script, and that`s detrimental to a fully developed performance. There`s the terrible tedium and boredom involved in waiting around for the camera to be ...
George C. Scott
(About Ed Catmull, John Lasseter and Steve Jobs at Pixar): "I refer to those guys as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Ed, who invented this cool medium and is the designer of the human machine that is Pixar, is the Father. John, its driving creati...

The theater is more a medium for an actor than the cinema is. You are totally responsible for what you do on the stage; in a film, someone else can come in and edit you and do something totally different to what you had in mind originally, and they can cu...

I pop the video in, and wow. Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps...Wow. I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn`t mine anymore...It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedr...

I`ve about had it - the agencies, the winking, the networks, the ratings. Anyone who thinks TV is an art medium is crazy - it`s an advertising medium.

I reject that whole point of view - that animation is a children`s medium. The way people talk about it is, well, hey, it`s a good thing I have kids, because now I get to see this. Well, hey, no, man! You can just go and see it. There`s no other art form ...
Brad Bird
Film is a truly magical medium. You can create illusions of reality, make people think they`ve seen things that they really haven`t -- like blowing a guy`s head off with a shotgun.
Tom Savini
I`m just a storyteller, and the cinema happens to be my medium. I like it because it recreates life in movement, enlarges it, enhances it, distills it. For me, it`s far closer to the miraculous creation of life than, say, a painting or music or even liter...
Federico Fellini
In an action movie, I don`t want to move the camera too much, because the movement should be within the frame. The same goes for comedy. You don`t want to push in for a joke; it`s plenty in a medium shot. Watch my jokes, they`re never in close-up. If the ...

When real music comes to me - the music of the spheres, the music that surpasseth understanding - that has nothing to do with me, `cause I`m just the channel. The only joy for me is for it to be given to me, and to transcribe it like a medium...those mome...
