"I prefer film and that's what I think I'm gonna put my focus on"
About this Quote
The subtext is about medium as identity. Film still carries a particular prestige economy: the promise of permanence, the aura of auteur-driven craft, the idea that roles can be fewer but louder. For an actress known to many through television, this reads like a strategic recalibration - an attempt to be seen not only as reliable in long-form storytelling but as selective, cinematic, “event” casting. “Focus” is the operative word: it implies that attention is finite and that she’s choosing where to spend it, which subtly rebukes an entertainment culture that expects constant output.
Context matters, too. In the years Alexander has worked, the film/TV hierarchy has blurred, then flipped, then blurred again. Dropping this line in that churn becomes less a commentary on quality than on pace and agency: film as a way to claim boundaries, curate risk, and reposition a public narrative before it gets written for you.
