 Eventually, the tribe developed so much confidence in me that they invited me to be their chieftain. |
| I try to address my audiences intelligently. The man in the street counts, but sometimes he forgets that he counts. |
| I think a film should have a gestation period of at least two or three years. |
| 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. |
| If the movie's well made and it's about things that count, people will ultimately see the depth in it. |
| Conventionally, one looks at history as something of the past. But after Einstein, who knows what is in the past and what is in the present? |

| Even if we don't know it or aren't aware of it, politics and philosophy are really what make our up lives. |
| Music is a very integral part of the film, but it will not be as full of music as a Bollywood film. |
| When you look at our world, the truth is that we're all under the influence of politics. |
| The actor is concerned with his own bit of it, but the director's somehow trying to work the whole thing into a much bigger picture. It's like conducting an orchestra. |
