You'd need to polish your skills as you only get one chance. In cinema, retakes are possible but in theatre, there are none.
Whenever I used to watch Hollywood films, I used to feel, when would Tollywood make such films?
I really respect Telugu cinema and the fact that people out here have a totally different style of working and are at par with Bollywood. Sometimes, they beat Bollywood with the kind of films they make.
Bollywood works as hard as regional cinema makers.
I'm getting a little bored by the juxtaposition of American and other cinema. I no longer think this division is as true as it might have been in the 1980s, or the early part of the 90s.
'Fire Walk With Me' was so divisive because the tone was so different than the TV series. But now television is almost more of a free medium than cinema.
Hitchcock denigrated American films, saying they were all 'pictures of people talking' - as, indeed, most of them are.
Most filmmakers looked at it as a medium to palm off sub-standard stuff. I don't look at it like that. Your TV screen, mobile screen is as relevant as a cinema hall.
I need theatre for my equilibrium, because in theatre the actors don't care so much about image, about celebrity - you are more independent. There is not the narcissism, maybe, that you find in cinema.
Indian cinema gives you everything that western cinema doesn't. It's maseladar and spicy. If you like Indian food, I think you'll love Indian movies.
I prefer the Telugu film industry, as women are respected more than they are in the Tamil film industry. In Tamil cinema, they care only about their hero, who is God.
I would sooner play in a good British picture than in the majority of American pictures I have seen.
The main difference I'd say is that European cinema has always used less music than American cinema for historical reasons.
The pacing in Tamil and Telugu is very different from Malayalam cinema.
I pity the French Cinema because it has no money. I pity the American Cinema because it has no ideas.
I'm more of a Cristal Connors than a Nomi Malone.
I think that the dramas that you find in TV are actually a lot more interesting, typically, than what you find in cinema.
Well the least favourite question is the one that one's asked particularly about in Japan is what's the difference between theatre and cinema and I think, well, that's about eighty bucks.
The theatre fulfills, whereas the cinema is empty.
If you think back to the great French directors it's difficult to think of British film-makers who are comparable.
The Czech movies, the quality movies, are trying to show the life in the country as it is, in an entertaining way, while in America, the majority of movies are wonderful fairy tales.
I hate that people think going to the theatre is a special occasion. I wish people would treat it as normally as going to the cinema.
Romanian movies are not made the same as American movies are, only because it's newer there. For instance, cigarettes, over there, are much more prominent, and Americans aren't used to that.
