It gets tiring, doing the same thing everyday.

I don't see the risk, I enjoy performing stunts, and I don't get scared.

In the South, it is different, they have a audience that is literate.

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.

By getting into distribution and production, I am actually widening my base.

So it is fair enough that you are paying me what I ask for, because it is my name you are using to sell the film. If the producer gives me a guarantee that he will sell the film at a lower price to the distributors, fair enough, then I will charge less!

Simply that we are mirroring the trends in society, at any given time smuggling was an issue in the seventies, corruption is an issue today, and we faithfully reflect those issues.

You get an image after you act in a film, but it is not necessary that you last long because of that image.

To make a film and to sell it to the distributors you need a name.

There're so many things I want to do, like become more media savvy. I am too lazy. But I'm making an effort.

There's no doubt about Prakash's abilities as a director.

It gets tiring, doing the same thing everyday.

I never talk about my personal life. After these rumours, I definitely do not want to comment on anything.

Today I divide my day between being actor, producer and distributor, and the monotony is broken.

There are two types of films - one made by the big-time producers, the other is low budget stuff made by some producers who make films for the heck of it, they complete their films for small amounts, sell it at low costs with almost no publicity.

I'm going to keep making films I believe in. Whether I am successful or not is besides the point.

In the industry, you do need some ethics - if one film does well, then thousands get work and money comes back to the industry. I guess the bottomline is, if there are two versions, then the better one will click.

Earlier, I used to charge territories instead of my fees as an actor, but I realised it was better to keep the two apart. Now, I take my fees in cash, for acting, and keep the distribution thing separate.

If somebody had started on a remake of French Kiss before I announced my own film, I would have dropped my subject. If someone else starts after me, what am I to do?

Abroad, they have covered pretty much all subjects, explored every possibility, every twist. So similarities between ideas you have and those filmed abroad are quite possible.

I only want to do better work. That's the focus of my life.

The difference being that in films, unlike in life, good does always win over evil in the end.

I only want to do better work. That’s the focus of my life.

The fact is, I can vote for anybody; independents, Republicans, Democrats. But I'm a registered Democrat in the District of Columbia.

In terms of language, yeah we get bleeped and blurred and things, but in terms of content, I would probably say we're getting away with more here than we could get away with in Britain. And that surprised us so much!

The only hope of socialism resides in those who have already brought about in themselves, as far as is possible in the society of today, that union between manual and intellectual labor which characterizes the society we are aiming at.

Everywhere you go you hear things that are untrue. You've just got to learn that if I don't say it, physically out of my mouth, on camera, it's not true.

It's up to history to judge.

My big fear is that I'll put down so many people, I'll have to leave show biz.

Smile. It instantly lifts the face, and it just lights up the room.

Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment. Full effort is full victory.

How many desolate creatures on the earth have learnt the simple dues of fellowship and social comfort, in a hospital.

I never thought I wanted to direct. I love the control of it. I love to dream of scenes.

My hero wants to belong too, but he doesn't want to give up all the things he came to value in the west.

Well, yeah, I sang to some songs on the radio or in the shower.

I guess I knew my dad was into photography, so a part of me was interested in picking it up to understand him a little better.

People appreciate it when you take some time to think about who will be listening to your jokes.

The 20th century was a century in which human rights were infringed upon in numerous parts of the world, and Japan also bears responsibility in that regard. I believe that we have to look at our own history with humility and think about our responsibility.

You know, I think what the American people want more than anything else right now is someone who's just going to look them in the eye and tell them the truth, even some truths that they don't like. And - but they have to believe the person's speaking from their heart and are authentic.

The child benefits more from being valued than evaluated.

The things I keep going back to, rereading, maybe they say more about me as a reader than about the books. Love in the Time of Cholera, Pale Fire.

I would really like to take on something that really surprises people and shows that I want to be taken seriously as an actress. Also, creatively speaking, that sounds really fun.

I had to delegate authority to the people on my staff. That means you shave away the hierarchy.

I tried chemo, but chemo and I didn't agree, so we didn't persist.

A woman is like a tea bag - you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.

I am capable.

It's exciting for me to be home in California where I'm from and to be working with Victoria's Secret.
