Film, I think, is my medium.
Photography was my choice of weapons.
There are dance artists, painting artists and writing artists. Authors are writing artists. You can practice art in whatever medium you choose, and words are mine.
I prefer film to TV because of the amount of time film affords you that TV doesn't (though theater is probably my favorite and the scariest place of all).
If you want to tell stories, be a writer, not a filmmaker.
The thing that made me turn more towards writing was realizing how hard it was going to be to get a singular vision on film and how much more control I would have if I were writing novels.
Now I'm in nonfiction. To me any given story has its appropriate form. There might be some story I get involved with that's begging to be a graphic novel, so that will have to be that way. There's always that matching of the content and the form, and that means everything to me. I spend years thinking about what that match is going to be before I can really make it work.
I write for film or, in this case, television when I haven't got a play cooking.
I feel that if you are a creative person, you choose various mediums to give vent to your ideas.
It seems that film-makers are being divided between those working in digital and those who are not. I think it's not something predetermined - it all depends on what project we have in mind, and on that basis we choose the medium.
I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence.
I work in whatever medium likes me at the moment.
I'm not particularly invested in, nor do I really care about, photography in a general sense. It's a medium that's relatively ubiquitous, readily accessible, and that I have some facility with, so it makes sense for me to use it.
Whenever the medium of photography is useful for a particular task, I use it. If another medium is more suitable I use that.
My medium is prose, not the novel.
I never say I have a preference for one medium as opposed to another.
Well, what I'm doing is really clothing. I'm not doing sculpture.
I'm a very visual person, which is probably why I make videos rather than write scripts.
I would rather explore the medium of films than television.
Writing was not my medium. I preferred to do video.
Motion pictures are a director's medium. Broadway is a writer's medium. Television is a producer's medium. I picked a medium I could control.
I like working in any medium. Who's making it? How much do I like the story? Does it contribute something?
Some things can be perfectly expressed by sound alone and images would only be disturbing. Other times, sound would be possible, but visuals are much stronger and closer to what I want to express and then again, they sometimes overlap perfectly.
If you have a good story idea, don't assume it must form a prose narrative. It may work better as a play, a screenplay or a poem. Be flexible.
