I would love a robot butler.

I learn more from the audience than I can from anybody else. Not from what they write on the scorecards, but how they respond to the movie while they're watching it - where they laugh and where they react.

When you're fearless, you take more risks because you're less conscious of failure or what can go wrong.

I think taking the biggest star in India and the biggest star in America, and putting them together in a movie that starts in America and ends up in India, or starts in India and goes to America. I think it would be a buddy cop formula.

Producing is making films without having to work sometimes. It's still making films, but it's a different job.

I'm not invited to the Vanity Fair dinner where they watch the Oscars - or even the Oscars themselves - so I sit at home and watch it with a bunch of close friends.

I've watched 'Being There' over 50 times, and every time I watch it, I love every frame. I just wish I had directed it myself.
