If I make two films in a year, they'll be different. This is my style - I can't have just one way.

I live in New York City, the stories of my films take place in New York; I'm a New York filmmaker.

My films are the expression of momentary desires. I follow my instincts, but in a disciplined way.

We had friendly and pleasant relationships with all that worked in our films - many happy memories.

I am born and brought up in Mumbai. I have grown up watching Hindi films. So I belong here, I feel.

I admire Akira Kurosawa. I have a deep admiration for him and I would love to make films like that.

I am fortunate to have acted with a talented film personality like Cheran in two consecutive films.

You always worry about films when you hear about them making decisions after announcements are made.

It took an entire generation of critical thinking for Douglas Sirk's films to be really appreciated.

Life is complicated, and art has the right to be complicated, too. I don't like films that simplify.

My purpose is to make films that will help people to live, even if they sometimes cause unhappiness.

I feel like if you see five films not knowing who made them, you know which one is the Coen Brothers.

I'm here to be an actor who wants to be remembered for her roles and her films rather than her looks.

We need to develop artists who are not just scoring films. I'm hoping 'Gully Boy' can help with that.

I am happy that most of my films did good business and either set or broke records at the box office.

It's never been my goal to do 'big' films because a big film in itself is not very interesting to me.

I think Woody Allen is Woody Allen, and no matter where he goes he still makes his Woody Allen films.

When you drop your guard in films, the acting process compensates. You get lazy and you start acting.

Even if I make a fortune in films, I want to have a diploma so I don't finish life as a little clerk.

People either know Alan Rudolph and love every single one of his films or they don't know him at all.

Everybody thinks making films back to back is a big deal but they did it all the time in the old days.

Most of my songs are emotional romantic numbers, so they are likely to suit a few situations in films.

I don't have to do films to pay my bills, nor am I insecure to think that out of sight is out of mind.

My films have always been considered the benchmark in action. I have a big responsibility to shoulder.

My mom and I never thought that I would make my way into Bollywood. I was happy doing films down south.

As far as I was concerned, either I was a homosexual or I wasn't, so making films would change nothing.

I did a lot of short films online, so I come from that background where a lot of people see your stuff.

From Vietnam's 'Deer Hunter' to Iraq, films are never about the person who has had his house destroyed.

All my films are, in some way, romances. But I've always felt that the best romances are somehow doomed.

If I didn't have my films as an outlet for all the different sides of me, I would probably be locked up.

Why is it so difficult to have films seeing the world from women's perspective like 'Thelma and Louise?'

It's not about an opening weekend. It's about a career, building a set of films you're proud of. Period.

It's a constant quest to push the bar and work in films that allow me to prove what I can do as an artist.

As soon as you make some films that people like, you'll be sent material, and that can come from anywhere.

What people see is just your career graph and the films you do. But that's a very small aspect of my life.

Films are commercially viable when you work with a superstar. That's why I did 'London Dreams' and 'Ready.'
