Universities are not here to be mediums for the coercion of other people, they're here to be mediums for the free exchange of ideas.
I'm a Sufi Muslim, I would say. I believe in using the medium to create a good vibration because art is so important to society. Some projects I don't do because I feel that it's going to create a bad vibe. I don't do propaganda films that are anti another religion, anti-Muslim or anti-Hindu.
Everybody either hates or loves John Cena; there's no medium. I feel like that I've accomplished something when I get people to cheer for John Cena. I feel like I've done something.
Youth is ever apt to judge in haste, and lose the medium in the wild extreme.
They say an elephant never forgets. Well, you are not an elephant. Take notes, constantly. Save interesting thoughts, quotations, films, technologies... the medium doesn't matter, so long as it inspires you.
Television is a visual medium. You have to create some kind of visual interest. And it's entertainment for your eyes.
I really admire people that do more than one thing. That's sort of the goal, right - to be an artist that can work in any medium. That's what I hope for my career.
Of all the mediums, theatre is the one where you really need to have something to say - because it's just you, the words, and the space.
Film is the medium for communicating not just ideas, but things of the heart.
My only close-to-game-plan is to follow good writing. If the writing is in TV or if it's in theater or in film, that's it. It doesn't really matter what the medium is.
