I was offered my first film right after my 10th board exams. Back then, I didn't even know they made films in the South. Films, I thought, were either in Hindi or English.
I've long been an admirer of Philip French's way of writing as well as his knowledge of films. He was one of the few critics to be aware, and make audiences aware, of the work of people on a film set other than the director.
Most of the time, you do films and they can be big films, but you are rarely aware of the fan base that comes with it.
Most of us do not consciously look at movies.
I'm pretty bad at seeing new films.
I have not seen 'Legally Blonde.' I must be in the small, ever-dwindling minority on that one.
You have to understand where the camera needs to me. There were times where you were suddenly aware where the cameras were, then you were in a different place and it didn't feel like the same movie.
Unfortunately, I know very little about Indian cinema. I know we have Bollywood... But my knowledge about it is very little.
My function is to make whoever sees my films aware of his need to love and to give his love, and aware the beauty is summoning him.
I don't think people know 'Nosfuratu.'
Friends would ask, 'Have you seen 'The Godfather?' and I'd be like, 'No.'
