Let's talk of a system that transforms all the social organisms into a work of art, in which the entire process of work is included... something in which the principle of production and consumption takes on a form of quality. It's a Gigantic project.
I've been lucky enough that in the U.K., I've done shows that have aired once a week. I make a show there that runs seasonally, and we make one episode a week, and that is great - the value of time. You can really think and finesse what you want to do.
I'm doing the kind of show that I would want to see.
One of the things I noticed about the '2 Broke Girls' pilot was that it looked like a new episode in a season and not a pilot, and that's an amazing sign.
We need to draw up a regime where government can be an enabler for manufacturing to compete at good quality and prices.
'Cold Case' was fun. It was a fun experience. That was right when I was cutting my teeth as a TV actor. It was a great learning experience to work on really fast-paced television shows that are very high quality. It was a place where I learned that I had to keep up and I could keep up.
My talent is my talent. I ain't really tripping off no ego; I just like to make good music with good people.
I only believe in making movies with integrity.
I would always rather do a mediocre script with a great filmmaker than a great script with a mediocre filmmaker.
I would rather be attached to well-made, big-budget films.
Ridley Scott's company makes great work in whatever arena, whether it's movies or commercials or television. They just do really quality stuff, so you know it's going to be quality.
You know, there's so much imitation and so much pandering in Hollywood.
When I did '21 Jump Street,' I felt like I was a part of something great, but on a very large scale. Working with people that genuinely want to make good art or good work or a good film, that's what keeps me going.
'Mad Men' was really my first television role, and it never feels like TV to me. It's done at such a high level.
I think a truly fantastic video is worth it. We spend so much time on the music, it only makes sense to have a really well-done visual translation of that music.
I did a film which was considered an independent movie with Dustin Hoffman and Andy Garcia called Confidence, and that's the type of film I was willing to take a chance on that because of the caliber of people involved with the film.
As far as I know, if you take your time, write a good script and make a good film, then give the audience time, they will accept it.
I'm not in the advertising business, but I think it would be very nice if people went to see the film Hamlet, because it was made with love and integrity.
It's better to do a film that works.
We work without stars, and we proudly proclaim it. People come to Vishesh Films to work with us, and not because we can create a star.
Make the film that you love. When you find a film that you love, every molecule of your being will be moving in the direction of making the best film you can possibly make. This should be your default mode of operation.
It's really about making the best music you can make. It's really about working hard.
As long as I can make the films I want to make in decent conditions, I am happy.
You have to make something good. Just because all the hot actors show up and the money is there and the explosives are ready, it doesn't matter.
We work in an environment where your options are to do, you know, Batman 10, so when you get to do a movie that's a really great film like this, people really step up to the plate and enjoy it.
