The red carpet we roll out come sizzling medium rare.
My aim is to escape from the medium with which I work.
For example, if it's a sad scene, I need to feel that way, at least to a slight degree and for a short while, to get it right. Which is why I sometimes listen to music when I'm revising. Music creates moods for me quicker than any other medium.
Water is life's matter and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.

I've always tried to - when I've been able to - support young artists, no matter what medium.
Learning how to use different formats has made me a better photographer. When I started working in medium format, it made me a better 35 mm photographer. When I started working in 4x5, it made me a better medium-format photographer.

Each of the parts of philosophy is a philosophical whole, a circle rounded and complete in itself. In each of these parts, however, the philosophical Idea is found in a particular specificality or medium. The single circle, because it is a real totality, bursts through the limits imposed by its special medium, and gives rise to a wider circle. The whole of philosophy in this way resembles a circle of circles. The Idea appears in each single circle, but, at the same time, the whole Idea is constituted by the system of these peculiar phases, and each is a necessary member of the organisation.

So much of TV seems to be chewing gum for the eyes. . . . TV desperately needs more self-reliance and pride in the medium.
The subject comes first, the medium second.
Comics are just another medium to express yourself. It's not cinema; it's not literature; it's just something else. It has a specific requirement, which is that images are used to tell the story. There are lots of crappy movies, with guns and action and Arnold Schwarzenegger or whatever.
I believe that the story is the most important element of any medium whether it's theater, film, TV.
I grew up years ago doing something that unfortunately doesn't hardly exist any more, a medium called Radio.
The things that can go wrong are particular to mediums and they make for qualities that really are of the medium.
I certainly grew up seeing more movies and television than I read books, but when it came time to do the thing itself you don't have to hire a lot of people to sit down and write a book, so that was the story-telling medium that was available to me.
I wanted to do new things with dance, adapt it to the motion picture medium.
Music was the medium through which knowledge was passed from generation to generation.
