The magic doesn't come from within the director's mind, it comes from within the hearts of the actors.

Clearly their business was not highly impacted by it,

I like the evening in India, the one magic moment when the sun balances on the rim of the world, and the hush descends, and ten thousand civil servants drift homeward on a river of bicycles, brooding on the Lord Krishna and the cost of living

The film industry is about saying ‘no’ to people, and inherently you cannot take ‘no’ for an answer.

You know, working as an actor, I'm always working within my own imagination.

I'm really a director's actor. I rely heavily on a director.
