I don't come from a film background. I haven't learned anything about films or film-making. But I have a thirst to know everything about my profession. I want to learn about cinematography, about editing, about music recordings, about post-production...
I wanted to do a film for a while, but I never found a script that I felt I was going to be the right person for; because if you've never made a film, you're not taught how to make a film, and you feel like you lack skills.
There's a big link between trains and film. One of the first filmed objects was a train. The clickety-clack of the projector and the clickety-clack of the train are similar. There is the idea of the voyage - every voyage is a story. I wonder if film ...

It's amazing how much you can absorb on a film set.
What Bollywood lacks is scripts. A lot of the films are copies of western films.
I was making films when I was about 12 years old - Super-8 films.
I did not go to film school.
I could be equally happy on a film set or in the middle of a field.
There aren't a lot of films about adolescents or quote-unquote coming-of-age films that are realistic nowadays.
I don't make films for other people; I make films for me.
Independent film is not only an oxymoron; it doesn't exist anymore.
I don't think the subject of a documentary film should be producers on it.
My first experience on a feature film was with Shane Meadows on 'This Is England.'
In the film business, it's basically honor among thieves.
I don't want to be in the film business. I'm not even sure it's a business.
Part of the film business is, if you want an apple, you buy an apple.
The film business has changed so dramatically from when I started.
Any film that supports the idea that things can be changed is a great film in my eyes.
When I was in film school, I was learning more theory than practice.
I would love to work in a Bollywood film as there is so much drama and colour in the films there.
