Box office figures are not something that can decide the success of a film on its own, but they are one of the many yardsticks that help me measure how well a film has been received.

The true marker of success is when the creative minds behind a film can sit down and feel that they have succeeded in the mission they set out to accomplish - and that is to make good cinema. If we feel that we have achieved that as a team, then we have all been successful.

When I was new, I didn't know where my career will go. Initially, my films were not even successful, but then I learned a lot from my mistakes.

If a script has that affect on me during a reading, then it is definitely a film I want to be part of.

I don't do films because they tell a particular kind of story, I do films with stories that touch me.

If a film has a social message, it is very important for me to know what the message is and how it's going to be delivered, but it's not something I look for all the time.
