I didn't ask anyone to make me a poster boy, because poster boys always end up on dart boards.

Entertainment's definition has been reduced to making people happy.

Every film has an origin. It is made under certain circumstances, and that is a very important point that should be kept in mind during a review.

I'm a huge Coppola fan. But more of 'Apocalypse Now' and 'The Conversation.' 'The Godfather' for me is, like, number three or four on the list.

The censor boards are mere redundant forces conspiring to keep the 'bold' films out of reach of the audience.

Cinema is much more than heroes and villains.

I think about my films for a long time, maybe years, but I write them in days.
