I think the job of movie reviewing can be really tough. If a film has layers that need to be thought about, it's easy to get missed the first time around.

I like cinema audiences. I respect them, and I talk to them just like I would anybody I know.

I think a film should have a gestation period of at least two or three years.

Very good coaches for ski jumpers stand at the top of the slope and watch the jumpers prepare, rather than standing at the bottom and watching them land.

Music is a very integral part of the film, but it will not be as full of music as a Bollywood film.
