After Making Several Tragic Movies In A

I Think A Lot Of People Do Big Movies Not Because They Are Talented Artists But Because They Can Function In The Circumstances.

It's Just What I Am. When I Am In The Zone Making One Movie, I Just Didn't Want To Read Anything Else Or Do Anything Else, So I Don't Really Develop Projects.

In My Culture, There's A Tradition That When You're In An Overwhelming Situation And You Don't Know What To Do, You Put Yourself In A Woman's Shoes.

As Artists, We Like Night More Than Day Sometimes.

Only One Time In My Career I Had That Feeling [that This Is Not Gonna Get Made], It Was For This Movie [life Of Pi]. It Was Right Before We Started The Physical Pre-production. I Pre-visualized The Whole Ocean Part Before We Made The Movie, I Was That Prepared. At One Point They Seemed To Want To Drop It Because It Was Really Risky. The Budget We Proposed Was A Lot Higher Than They Expected, They Wanted To [drop It]. After All, It's A Philosophical Book And A Literature Property, It's Not Batman.
