For so many people, television and movies may be the only way they understand people who aren't like them.

I don't make movies for the same reason that a lot of people do. I make films because I need to see them exist in a very specific way.

I don't see that many movies lately that are actually about something, that are trying to challenge something about the way that people interact.

In Bollywood, people have been making movies for more than half a century and they are made in such a way that you need not shed off all your inhibitions.

In a lot of movies, especially big studio ones, they're not constructed in any other way than to get people to like them and then tell their friends. It's a product.

You go back to those films of the '40s and '50s and hear the dialogue, the way the people played off each other - the wordplay. I think we've really lost that in movies.

I kind of feel like the job of actors and writers and people who make television and movies is to keep people company. In whatever modest way I'm able to accomplish that, I want to.

But obviously as television began, it so undercut movies that he was trying to think of a way to combine seeing these special things, and the fact that people were just captivated by the magic box.

I think it's dynamite, the way my career has just kept moving, even when people didn't know it did. I made such interesting films, but, yeah, they're not necessarily the big movies that go to the supermarket. I don't need those movies, because I don't wanna do them.
