But there are a lot of actors who achieve it, a lot of movie stars even, people like Emily Watson and Cate Blanchett. They seem to be able to carry on with their lives and still produce wonderful, high-profile work.” PeopleWantStillsEnoughSeemsAbleActorsStarsSpaceWonderfulAchieveProduceMovie StarProfileWatsonEmilyHigh Profile Author:Anne-Marie Duff

“TV acting is so extremely intimate, because of the peculiar involvement of the viewer with the completion or "closing" of the TV image, that the actor must achieve a great degree of spontaneous casualness that would be irrelevant in movie and lost on the stage. For the audience participates in the inner life of the TV actor as fully as in the outer life of the movie star. Technically, TV tends to be a close-up medium. The close-up that in the movie is used for shock is, on TV, a quite casual thing.” Would BeUsedActorsLostStarsActingAudienceAchieveStageTelevisionTvsDegreesMediumsIntimateShockPeculiarSpontaneousViewersIrrelevantMovie StarClosingInvolvementCasualInner LifeCompletion Book:Understanding media: the extensions of man Source: Understanding media: the extensions of man

“Ideas are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man in the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you will reach you destiny. Perhaps you could get a clearer idea of our destiny if we took time out to examine our ideas, and upgraded them if necessary. What things are most important to you? If you could do anything you wanted to be, what would you be? If you could achieve a single objective in life, what would it be?” IfsMenImportantIdeasHandsWantedStarsWaterDestinyAchieveSucceedFollowingGuidesObjectivesDesertTouchingYou ChooseOur Destiny Author:Carl Schurz
