I don't believe in planning for things. I just want them to fall in place, unfold as they like. I never design things. I want films to choose me; I don't choose films.

If I do not respond to some situation, my conscience kills me. I believe in permissible violence, not necessarily non-violence.

Life is bigger than cinema. Cinema is just a part of life, so I never take success or failure seriously.

For me, directing a film is like confining myself. I want to do something beyond direction. I can conceive stories, write screenplays, etc. That's better for me.

The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.

Indian cinema needs all ingredients like emotion, action, sentiment and humour; it's not easy. It's easy to make a Hollywood film, as it goes with a pattern. Our cinema needs a lot of commercial ingredients. That's why I don't do many films.
