“I mean, I enjoy my work as an actor. But to make a difference in people's lives through advocacy and through supporting research - that's the kind of privilege that few people will get, and it's certainly bigger than being on TV every Thursday for half an hour.” PeopleKindMeanActorsEnjoyHoursDifferencesHalfTvsResearchBiggerPrivilegeMaking A DifferenceAdvocacyThursday Author:Michael J.

“Los Angeles people are incapable of passively mainlining TV and movies. Here you have to read who produced or directed every episode, who wrote it, who had guests shots and whether you know them personally and if they like you. You have to figure out who everybody's agent is and whether yours is better. You not only know but deeply care about the difference between such job titles as Producer, Supervising Producer, and Executive Story Editor. ... So while the rest of the country is lying stupid in a media-induced coma, people in L.A. are in constant withdrawal.” PeopleIfsKnowsCountryStoriesCareJobsLyingDifferencesMediaStupidFiguresTvsLike YouShotsHollywoodConstantProducersAgentsTitlesExecutivesLos AngelesEditorsGuestsEpisodesIncapableWithdrawalComaJob Titles Book:Get Your Tongue Out of My Mouth, I'm Kissing You Good-bye Source: Get Your Tongue Out of My Mouth, I'm Kissing You Good-bye

“What Americans don't care much about is the piffle we put on TV these days, what they don't care about is boring, irrelevant, badly told stories, and what they really hate is the presumption that they're too stupid to know the difference.” KnowsStoriesCareHateDifferencesStupidTvsDon't CareBoringThese DaysIrrelevantPresumption Author:Christiane Amanpour
“I was doing great plays. It wasn't changing the world. I was getting good agents and doing film and TV and I wasn't happier. I was like "Wow, there is an unease inside of me." And that led me back on my kind of more spiritual path to the Baha'i faith in a new and fresher way and I came to also understand at that point that there was no difference between being devout and being an artist. There is no difference between creativity and spirituality and philosophy and that is what Soul Pancake, the book, and SoulPancake.com are about is: it's all about human expression and it's about seeking to transcend.” WorldWayHumansKindBookSoulPhilosophyPlayFilmSpiritualArtistSpiritualityDifferencesCreativityPathExpressionTvsSeekingAgentsChanging The WorldWowSpiritual PathBeing An ArtistPancakesBahaBaha I Author:Rainn Wilson

“Each form of the acting is different. I think it keeps your mind active. TV, film and theater are different disciplines, as are independent films, opposed to studio films. There are differences in the size and the genre, or a period drama as opposed to a contemporary drama, or the types of characters.” ThinkingMindDifferentCharacterFilmFormDifferencesActingTvsTypeDisciplinePeriodsDramaTheaterIndependentSizeStudiosActiveContemporaryGenreIndependent Film Author:Luke Evans
“The first thing I say when people ask what's the difference [between doing TV and film], is that film has an ending and TV doesn't. When I write a film, all I think about is where the thing ends and how to get the audience there. And in television, it can't end. You need the audience to return the next week. It kind of shifts the drive of the story. But I find that more as a writer than as a director.” PeopleThinkingNeedsWritingFirstsKindEndsStoriesFilmNextAsksDifferencesAudienceWeekTelevisionTvsReturnDirectorsNext Week Author:Jason Reitman
