I think it's restrictive to typecast myself as a novelist because I enjoy other forms of expression. I love literature and I love cinema.

I didn't have this feeling that I should be a leading actor in the cinema. And I wouldn't want the responsibility of the opening weekend.

First of all, on a cinematic [level], the film answer to that is that Roger Corman was creatively responsible for a lot of cinema history.

I am a product of '90s movies. I grew up watching '90s films and wanted to become an actor because that was the phase of cinema I enjoyed.

I grew up watching movies that just transformed my vision, not just in cinema, in life, and you discover that this - it's an endless tool.

IN CINEMA IT IS NECESSARY NOT TO EXPLAIN, BUT TO ACT UPON THE VIEWER'S FEELINGS, AND THE EMOTION WHICH IS AWOKEN IS WHAT PROVOKES THOUGHT.

Because there is so little room for expression otherwise, a lot of people love cinema because they find it a way of expressing themselves.

The blue collar milieu was something that I really understood and resonated with me and I thought was underrepresented in American cinema.

The cinema saved me from being a delinquent. I could have been, but I didn't get caught up. I never was going to get arrested or anything.

Cinema has only been around for about 100 years. Has all of the world's violence towards women taken place only within the past 100 years?

The quality of mainstream cinema has changed. A lot of independent voices feel they can leave everything behind and make independent films.

We grew up near a cinematheque in Cleveland, so we were very influenced by international cinema, the French New Wave, Italian neo-realists.

I go to the theater two or three times a week when I'm in London. Whereas I feel guilty going to the cinema in the middle of the afternoon.

Only cinema narrows its concern down to its content, that is to its story. It should, instead, concern itself with its form, its structure.

I am not at all interested in theories about cinema. I am only interested in images and people and sound. I am really a very simple person.

I'm fortunate to have a home in both Mumbai and Delhi, and to be a part of cinema and the political world. Both are different and engaging.

In the dance, one finds the cinema, the comic strips, the Olympic hundred meters and swimming, and what's more, poetry, love and tenderness.

We have a strong tradition in Toronto of really great film writers, and growing up in that climate is a big reason I pursued cinema studies.

I like reading a lot. Jeffrey Archer and Robert Ludlum are my favourite authors. I love making realistic cinema, so I read non-fiction more.

There's a whole, that is a whole subgenre within martial arts cinema. The supernatural martial arts movie. Particularly within Asian cinema.

I have always wanted to work with Lingusamy, as he is a master of commercial cinema. I have always admired his etching of female characters.

Good cinema is what we can believe and bad cinema is what we can't believe. What you see and believe in is very much what I'm interested in.

I like action films, not exclusively, but I like Samurai films. I like Westerns. Not so much war pictures, but a few. I like kinetic cinema.

I have been hooked to cinema since childhood. I am like a typical Indian villager who had no other source of entertainment while growing up.

I've always acted; in fact, I can't remember a time when I was not. When I was little, cinema was a game, then my father's job and now mine.

Photography was inspired by painting, cinema by theatre and photography, I don't believe that any new art form was ever created from scratch.

There is no physical activity. All entertainment is happening in phone. Films can also be seen in laptop, so no one is visiting cinema halls.

We can compare classical chess and rapid chess with theatre and cinema - some actors don't like the latter and prefer to work in the theatre.

Hollwood creates useful entertainment. There are millions of people on earth who need distraction and American cinema fulfills that function.

There were Hollywood movies and then there were those aggressively anti-narrative films that they showed at the Collective for Living Cinema.

I demand that a film express either the joy of making cinema or the agony of making cinema. I am not at all interested in anything in between.

Since in the end, as an actor, I cannot do much apart from giving my best on camera, I won't let myself be affected by the business of cinema.

All history is defined by shifting modes of reality and time and how things change. That’s what I love about cinema. It changes in the moment.

It was only in the early 1990s - during my student years as an aspiring scientist at Delhi University - that I discovered the world of cinema.

I assure, the door to politics is never closed. Whatever medium is necessary to reach the masses, I will take that - be it cinema or politics.

I believe that cinema died on the 31 September 1983 when the zapper, or the remote control, was introduced into the living rooms of the world.

I do feel for me that cinema has somehow ceased to be a spectator sport. I get tremendous excitement out of making it rather than watching it.

Watching a movie should be like hunting. Out of context, every image of the cinema is yours for a split second. Take them before they bury it.

I really believe the form of the film must be in the scenario; cinema is not just added value to the scripting. I believe in it as a totality.

All history is defined by shifting modes of reality and time and how things change. That's what I love about cinema. It changes in the moment.

Film is my favourite without a doubt. I am a film romantic and I love the grandeur of cinema. Dark theatres and big screens are my first love.

Ten Days That Shook The World, by Eisenstein, I went to see it, and I was so impressed with this film, so impressed with what cinema could do.

The cinema is going to form the mind of England. The national conscience, the national ideals and tests of conduct, will be those of the film.

I'm not a fan of action movies. I don't watch many action movies, I don't have a lot of references except for 70s action movies or cinema noir.

To me, cinema is not a movie or a TV screen, and it's not a seat in a building versus one in your living room. It's the art of motion pictures.

There was also the myth of the western films. But my films are borrowed not from the story of the West in America but from the story of cinema.

I took to cinema because I found cinema was the medium for what I wanted to say through 'Shutter;' it was something beyond the scope of a play.

My influences come from real life. I'm not interested in cinema for cinema's sake. I'm interested in life - what one does and how one interacts.

Somebody said that part of my reaction to British cinema is actually, paradoxically, a patriotic one. I'm so disappointed that we're not better.

If you're going to break cinema, film, and movies apart, very rarely to you get the opportunity to even think that you've been a part of cinema.
