I adore Stanley Kubrick, all of his films were different, not just in subject but tonally.

I love improv. I do it with my co-star John Michael Higgins in both 'Pitch Perfect' films.

I think in art, but especially in films, people are trying to confirm their own existences.

I love independent films, it's the only place as an actor you're totally allowed to breathe.

I've always loved comic books, which is why I've done films like 'Hulk' and 'The Punishers.'

One of my favorite films is 'Late Spring' by Yasujiro Ozu. To me, it represents film as art.

I don't mind sitting at home playing the guitar for a year as long as I'm making good films.

A lot of films need planning in order to survive at all. It's part of the dog and pony show.

The majority of work I do is in independent films, where you're lucky if you have five takes.

When people ask me if I am a feminist film maker, I reply I am a woman and I also make films.

I'm shy by nature and don't like talking about myself, and would let my films do the talking.

I am my biggest critic. Even in films where people said they liked me, I have disliked myself.

Buster Keaton's 'The General,' from 1927, I think is still one of the great films of all time.

I'm not a cinephile. My films don't reference films. I'm more interested in rhythm and feeling.

If I am going to be afraid of the criticisms that my films get, I am never going to make films.

I would love to work with Salman. I watch all his films. I loved his performance in many films.

I want films to haunt an audience, to give them something to remember and be able to talk about.

I am not adding more films to my kitty just for the sake of money; I choose my script and do it.

I'm something of a history buff. It's deliberate that a lot of my films have been period pieces.

There will be more chances for films to be released through streaming services, such as Netflix.

I would love to work in a Bollywood film as there is so much drama and colour in the films there.

The nerds are the ones that make the films and do loads of other really cool stuff in their life.

Most of the films I've done haven't done particularly well. I'm surprised I'm continuing to work.

I quit south Indian films because I was bored. The fans in south India were also quite demanding.

My goal would be to make Frank Capra-type films about real people, how they define their reality.

Sure, I have been a part of many Telugu movies, but I got those films because of my Hindi movies.

If I make two films in a year, they'll be different. This is my style - I can't have just one way.

My films are the expression of momentary desires. I follow my instincts, but in a disciplined way.

At heart, we believe that the films that work well are the films that do touch people emotionally.

I am fortunate to have acted with a talented film personality like Cheran in two consecutive films.

I admire Akira Kurosawa. I have a deep admiration for him and I would love to make films like that.

I am born and brought up in Mumbai. I have grown up watching Hindi films. So I belong here, I feel.

We had friendly and pleasant relationships with all that worked in our films - many happy memories.

My purpose is to make films that will help people to live, even if they sometimes cause unhappiness.

You always worry about films when you hear about them making decisions after announcements are made.

It took an entire generation of critical thinking for Douglas Sirk's films to be really appreciated.

Life is complicated, and art has the right to be complicated, too. I don't like films that simplify.

I think Woody Allen is Woody Allen, and no matter where he goes he still makes his Woody Allen films.

When you drop your guard in films, the acting process compensates. You get lazy and you start acting.

People either know Alan Rudolph and love every single one of his films or they don't know him at all.

I'm here to be an actor who wants to be remembered for her roles and her films rather than her looks.

We need to develop artists who are not just scoring films. I'm hoping 'Gully Boy' can help with that.

I am happy that most of my films did good business and either set or broke records at the box office.

I feel like if you see five films not knowing who made them, you know which one is the Coen Brothers.

Even if I make a fortune in films, I want to have a diploma so I don't finish life as a little clerk.

It's never been my goal to do 'big' films because a big film in itself is not very interesting to me.

My films have always been considered the benchmark in action. I have a big responsibility to shoulder.

Most of my songs are emotional romantic numbers, so they are likely to suit a few situations in films.

As far as I was concerned, either I was a homosexual or I wasn't, so making films would change nothing.

I did a lot of short films online, so I come from that background where a lot of people see your stuff.
