You don't say no to a Shankar film.
I am sure 'Shakti' will set the screens on fire.
They thought in terms of: whatever you had that started you at the box office, this was it.
I certainly wouldn't mind if 'Jurassic Park' turns out to be commercially successful, and somebody says, 'Hey, you were in a box-office hit, and if you want to do another movie, we'll give you five million dollars to make it.'
My first film, 'Ishaqzaade,' did well, and I got four damn good films because of it.
I've had a lot of success with comedy films.
Carrie was a terrific piece of work. At the end of the movie comes, when Amy Irving kneels down to put the flowers on Carrie's grave, a hand comes up through the grave and seizes her by the arm. The audience went to the roof, totally to the roof. It was just the most amazing reaction. And I thought, 'We have a monster hit on our hands. Brian De Palma has done something new. He's actually created a shock ending that shocks an audience that was ready for a horror film.' And there were several people who did it after that.
I was very happy when my first movie was successful. That success paired with my trained body allowed me to believe and dream that I would be the next Amitabh Bachchan in the industry. Unfortunately, it remained a distant dream.
Since 'Qismat' did well independently, it was embraced by Bollywood.
'Paranormal Activity' was the first of our independently made/studio-released films. It was also the ultimate low-budget high-concept movie, which is what we are always looking for. 'Paranormal Activity' was the genesis of our model, of which I am so proud.
When you're in something as successful as 'Transformers,' you can't use it as a sales piece for your ability as an actress because it's all about the special effects.
I would watch any film which has Ranbir Kapoor.
I remember being at the premiere of 'Beverly Hills Cop II' and the tremendous reaction from the crowd outside, then going to a party at a hotel afterwards where the speakers were blasting 'Shakedown,' a song from the movie. That felt like a show biz moment to me.
I've watched people in these movies like Bradley Cooper in 'Yes Man' become these giant stars themselves.
I started in TV movies and then had success in my move to features with 'Night Shift' and 'Splash'.
It was a special show that became a cult classic of sorts, and I made a lot of money for it.
As for action, yes 'Wanted' was a success in the action genre. But not to the extent of 'Dabangg.'
I am very happy to have debuted in Telugu with a film like 'Guru.'
'Wall Street' was a very important movie for me in terms of my career. I won an Oscar, and then the film 'Fatal Attraction' came right after it.
Who would say no to a film like 'Gunday?'
I don't attribute any 'luck' to 'Bol Bachchan''s success. It was an entertaining commercial film which was bound to do well, and I guess I have the knack of picking up such universally appealing, fun masala movies which turn to be successful.
Denzel has been that leading man, but it took him a while to get to Training Day and Hurricane Carter.
I would like to be in a really big, successful film - boffo, spectacular, $500 million!
I am doing the remake of 'Bai Chali Sasariye,' which was my debut in the Rajasthani film industry. It became a major critical and commercial hit in the history of Rajasthani cinema.
A lot of people ask me, 'Are you going to do a sequel to 'The Guest' or 'You're Next?' - those movies weren't financially viable, so even though there are a lot of fans of it, it'd be a pretty small market we'd be appealing to. It's got to be a big hit for you to really justify that.
