I just did a dramatic love story. Whether it's a cultural phenomenon is not for me to say.

I think each movie-making process is a very exhausting and satisfying and fulfilling experience for me.

Emotions serve characters' purposes. That is their motivation.

I feel that everyone has a Hulk inside, and each of our Hulks is both scary and, potentially, pleasurable. That's the scariest thing about them.

First we pre-visualized it [the flying fish scene in 'Life of Pi'] so the actors could act. It took a long time to get that to come to life and to design those coming out of the screen. We had great fun with that. It takes a long time, a year maybe.

I wanted to shoot straight, mainstream, somehow off-beat. Not only realistic West, which is quite unfamiliar to the world's population - even to a lot of Americans.

I think a movie is a media that is evoking feelings.
