Geoff Dyer Quotes

I'm such a huge fan of television and what's happening in television, right now. You are able to visit characters and visit a story, week to week, push things in a different way than you can in a film, and you are able to go deeper, simply because you have more time. I'm just excited to do that. It's always good to do new things.

I never read. The paper or anything. I watch a lot of movies, and TV series and stuff. But I never, never read.

I love the magic of movies and television, and I always have since I was kid.

I've always been drawn more to film. But 'Bloodline,' to me, feels like a 13-hour piece of cinema. And the great thing about Netflix is you get to be almost like an editor. You choose how much of the narrative you want to watch at a time, which makes you complicit in the story.

Cinema is, of course, the great storytelling medium of modernity.

Cinema is movement, after all.

When you have something that brings a real emotion, that's the power of cinema.

I think that cinema and television have nothing in common. There is a breaking point between photography and cinema on the one hand and television and virtual reality on the other hand.

I'm hoping to develop a lot of graphic novels and television shows and films and animation. I've got my hands in a lot of different things!

I really have no preference between TV and film. I think that each individual project is its own thing and has a very different style. I have worked on big movies and small movies and network TV. I have had amazing experiences in each environment, and awful ones - more good than bad, though.

The movies have never been a big deal to me. The movies are the movies. They just make them. If they're good, that's terrific. If they're not, they're not. But I see them as a lesser medium than fiction, than literature, and a more ephemeral medium.

I love films, I love movies, I love television, I love television series, I love the internet, I love anything that enhances images. But most of all, I love, love movies.

I do believe that people go to the movies - for one reason or another - they go to the movies to have an experience.
