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

Christopher Eccleston

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

Manoj Bajpayee

Being an actor in TV or movies is different. A film or TV actor, if put in theatre, won't know certain dimensions, while a theatre actor won't know certain things when he comes before the camera. So I think a film actor can learn emoting from this theatre counterpart, while the theatre actor can learn about camera techniques from the film actor.

Barun Sobti

They say that theater is the actor's medium, television is the writer's medium and film is the director's medium, and it's really true.

Charlie Hunnam

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.

Film's a director's medium. Stage an actor's medium.

Leslie Jordan

Theatre is an actor's medium though behind the stage there is a playwright, director and perhaps in some, a music composer too, yet the actor is the one who ultimately tells the story to the viewers.

Himani Shivpuri

A film is the director's medium. The theater is an actor's.

Hugh Jackman

Theatre is like an actor's nectar, like how cinema is a director's medium.

Ali Fazal

I think the wonderful thing about doing theater is that it's more of an actor's medium. I think that film is more of a director's medium. You can't edit something out on stage. It's there.

Kim Cattrall

It's easier to go from theatre to film than the other way round. In film you're absolutely loved and cossetted and cared for. In film your director makes your performance. In theatre you're carrying it all.

Ian Mckellen

Film’s thought of as a director’s medium because the director creates the end product that appears on the screen. It’s that stupid auteur theory again, that the director is the author of the film. But what does the director shoot-the telephone book? Writers became much more important when sound came in, but they’ve had to put up a valiant fight to get the credit they deserve.

Billy Wilder

In theatre, there's the director, the writer, and below them the actor. In film, it's the actors who are most important. That goes against the grain for me.

Anne-Marie Duff

Movie making is really, it's a director's medium, it's not even so much an actor's medium.

Rebecca Romijn

I am a director's actor. It is a director's medium, definitely. That doesn't mean I stop using my head.

Padmapriya Janakiraman

Film is an emotional medium; it's not a logical medium. It's not an intellectual medium, so every decision you make as a filmmaker and an actor has to be emotional in some way, even in the rejection of logic.

Paul Haggis
