Memory is not an instrument for exploring the past but its theatre. It is the medium of past experience, as the ground is the medium in which dead cities lie interred.

Walter Benjamin

I have seen Hollywood artistes like Al Pacino, Tom Cruise and Tim Burton doing theatre and Broadway shows. Cinema actors tend to go back to theatre because it gives them an opportunity to reinvent themselves.

Asrani

Theatre is an actor's medium. An actor has little control over a film. Which is why most actors who have done theatre, and then come to films find the former more creatively satisfying.

I think theatre is an actor's medium, while cinema is a director's medium.

Manoj Bajpayee

I think film and television are really a director's medium, whereas theatre is the actor's medium.

Christopher Eccleston

There are really at least two Indias, there is an India or a shining India the one which the west seas usually through urbanize and there is an India outside some of the big metro policies and in even the tier two cities and in rural India which is completely different. It goes by the name of Bahar which is a traditional name for India.

Cyril Shroff

It's a new medium, it's a universal medium and it's not itself a medium which inherently makes people do good things, or bad things. It allows people to do what they want to do more efficiently.

Tim Berners-Lee

There are writers who say they have no social responsibility except to write a good book, but that doesn't satisfy me.

Sheri S. Tepper

The way the Pak government treated me is only testimony to the ill treatment meted out to artistes. There was outrage against me. People were amazed that I had applied for citizenship in India. I don't give a damn about getting trolled. I have earned immense respect and love in India.

Adnan Sami

Variety is very, very good. Going from medium to medium, if you get the chance to do it, from theater to television to film, which are all distinctly different, keeps me sharp. What works in one doesn't work in the other, and you have to be looking for the truth of the performance, whatever way that medium might demand.

Kenneth Branagh

No matter how creatively satisfying theatre might be, it is a poorly-paid medium, which is sad.

Himani Shivpuri

I did theatre in the U.S. because there, content-wise, it's very light. In India, theatre tends to get preachy.

Vir Das

I've written for every medium except poetry, at which I suck.

J. Michael Straczynski

Our artistes should be allowed to go to Pakistan just as we welcome their artistes.

Soni Razdan

I like the concept of 'Make in India'. But the orientation of 'Make in India' is slightly different than what I would. So, the orientation of Make in India is big business, and a lot of it is defence. My orientation of 'Make in India' would be small and medium businesses.
