I think as a filmmaker one should make all kinds of films. It is not that one should make only one kind of film. I love to see romantic films; I loved watching 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge,' 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.' If I make such films, I will make it...
I didn't start out thinking that I could ever make films. I started out being a film lover, loving films, and wanting to have a job that put me close to them and close to filmmakers and close to film sets.
Govern a family as you would cook a small fish -- very gently.
When a large vessel has opened a way it is easy for a small one to follow.
Better a small fire that warms you than a big one that burns you.
Better to have a diamond with a few small flaws than a rock that is perfect.
The mosquito is small -- but when he sings, your ears are full of him.
Men who watch their fortune grow find their houses too small.
I don't like these commercial films I do. I'd far prefer to do more artistic films, more cult films.
For behaviorist films, that's been much more useful - the change of technology - but for my kind of films, doing them on film is much better, because it's more beautiful.
I think that the change began... I made a film a few years ago called The Spitfire Grill, and that didn't make much money either, but it was a good film and an independent film.
I think the audience know which films are aimed at their pocket, and which films are aimed at their soul. There are a lot of films out there made by people who are genuinely trying to make a change.
The ethos of most films is that you make a film, you exploit the community, you exploit the environment, and it's OK because you made a great film, you know?
A good project but a poor director will always make a mediocre film, but an average script and good director can make a good film, as he will put in everything to make the film look good.
It's a very good thing for students also to be exposed to people who aren't film students or film scholars but who work in the world of film.
When I stopped making films, they were getting on to the more realistic films and the explicit films and all. They were depicting life as it is, and some of it was unpleasant. I gradually moved away from that.
I did sing in another film called 'Empire Records' which is a cult film. 'Grease 2' is also a cult film. You either love it or just think the original was better.
I considered going to film school; I took a course in film and was very interested in filmmaking as well as film writing.
Film is my hobby, so I will work well through the night to develop films, whatever film I'm doing or dream projects I have.
There are creatures in this world, small things and pretty things, which burn within them a fire for survival.
Beware of a client who's suing on principle and paying by the hour. He rarely gets his money's worth.
