If we were meant to read for enjoyment, would God have created television? Read as it was intended - for exercise. The more you read, the more you expand your - what's the word I'm looking for? - your stockpile of words. You must have a stockpile of words that you can pass along to your children for their stockpile.
Working on a film is so great because you have the luxury of more time when you're on a movie than when you're on television.
The U.K. and the U.S. are very different countries, and it really shows in the television.
Like, radio is closer to a Tumblr, or a blog, or Twitter, than it is to television, I think.
I love flexing theater muscles. Television has merits as well, but there's no substitute for live theater.
I think that there's no doubt that to work in film is a bit more of a creative journey. It's not that I don't put the same time or heart into something that's on television.
I think right now television is the best that it’s ever been, and I think that it’s the worst that film has ever been.
Cinema has a greater impact as it leaves a long lasting memory. Television, on the other hand, is also good but requires a lot of time.
I've never seen radio as the minor leagues, where I'm just really preparing to be in the show that really counts, namely, television, which is, I think, what people often assume. I've never felt that way.
The Internet is going to have a bigger impact on content creators than the television ever had. The reason why that's the case is that suddenly you're able to tell stories 24/7 in the home, out of the home, in every room of the home. A television screen can be in your pocket through a smartphone.
Film was nothing like television; there was a craft to it, and I realized how much hard work was needed. It was not some mindless, two-bit job that only requires you to look good.
For us in the minority, the opportunity to see geese is more important than television.
I've been sort of spoiled on the TV end because HBO feels like a small institution making independent movies. There's respect for the director's contribution in a way that mainstream television doesn't really reflect, I don't think.
Cinema and, most of all, films have changed my life much more than theatre or television. And that is the reason why I'm an actress.
I don't think anything connects with an audience as deeply as a long-form serialized drama, and much as I love television, I've always found a good ongoing comics series to be much more immersive.
You're very aware in the theater by the response you get, but not so much on television, obviously.
There's something about the impact of a big screen that means something to me, even though I realize almost every film is fated to be seen for a year in theaters, and then forever after on television.
I would rather explore the medium of films than television.
We have new tools that can give the audience a sense of not only being there, which is the key element in an IMAX film, but also seeing things in a way that they won't see on television or in feature films.
I do still like television very much, but the theatre does really have something special about it.
My pride at being a member of the theater community is deep, and we have a chance to reach a lot of people who might feel like there's a place for them. I want theater to be part of the cultural conversation and be on par with all mediums of television in its ability to be relevant.
I wish my real life could be as simple and scripted as it is on television.
The absolute key difference between television and radio is the ability of radio to communicate. With television you can watch the screen and your mind can be anywhere. On radio it requires a certain amount of discipline from the listener to follow what's being said.
