And I Wanted To Do A Movie

People Seem To Think That My Movies Are So Carefully Coordinated And Arranged - And In A Lot Of Ways, They Are - But Every Single Time I Make A Movie, I Feel That Every Director Makes These Choices. You Make Choices About Your Script, You Make Choices About Your Actors, And How You're Going To Stage It, And How You're Going To Shoot It, And What The Costumes Are Going To Be Like, And In Every Single Detail, You Make That Decision. And For Me, What Ends Up Happening Is, I Wind Up Surprised At The Combination Of All These Ingredients. It Never Is Anything Like What I Expected.

India Is A Place Where One Of The Great Pleasures For A Foreigner Is That You're Constantly Surprised. Everywhere You Look Is Something That Is Either Funny, Or Very Moving, But There Is Always So Much That Is So Unexpected. That's Part Of The Reason Why People Who Like It Tend To Love It.

I Just Want To Make Films That Are Personal, But Interesting To An Audience.

Paris Is A Place Where, For Me, Just Walking Down A Street That I've Never Been Down Before Is Like Going To A Movie.

I Usually Set Aside A Lot Of Time In Advance Of A Movie With Important Roles For Kids To Search, But When You Have Great Ones, They Can Be A Real Ace In The Hole.
