The Christmas bells from hill to hill Answer each other in the mist.

Reversing deforestation is complicated; planting a tree is simple.

'Independent' means one thing to me: It means that regardless of the source of financing, the director's voice is extremely present. It's such a pretentious term, but it's auteurist cinema. Director-driven, personal, auteurist... Whatever word you want.

Really I just want to get on with my job, which is to pretend to be lots of different people. Simple as that.

I did find a wonderful girl last year, but the photographs that we did were more about motorcars.

We must send a very clear message that if you enter our country illegally and then you commit one of these offenses, you will be dealt with harshly and you will pay a heavy price for your conduct.

It's very important to not repeat yourself. After 'Delhi Belly,' I was offered 40 'Delhi Belly's and you can't do that!
