When on the set of a film, you have to play natural for entire scenes in a very unnatural environment. You have to express emotions and interact with other actors and also use your voice.

There is a strange pecking order among actors. Theater actors look down on film actors, who look down on TV actors. Thank God for reality shows, or we wouldn't have anybody to look down on.

I like to rehearse with the actors scenes that are not in the script and will not be in the film because what we're really doing is trying to establish their character, and good acting to me is about reacting.

Sony could have $50 million and a sound stage and A-list actors and never make the same film. The constraints on this film became the essence of this film, became the power of this film.

We Are Not Actors!
when millions of our ancestors died for the truth,
when millions of them never acted in their life,
when millions of us work hard with our only face,
who told that world is full actors and actresses?
memorized scripts are repeated,
repeated verses can be recorded and edited,
The director vision is visualized,
Rehearsal can make the scenes perfect.
we live a scene only once in real life,
no directors, editors and the script writer,
we live our life with emotions and blunders,
we feel every moment that is not felt by the actors,
who told that world is the stage and we are the actors?

The crossover wasn't happening. TV actors were TV actors, and film and stage actors were a whole different thing. And now there's just a lot of crossover.

My cameraman and I devised a method, which we started using from my second film, which applies mainly to day scenes shot in the studio, where we used bounced light instead of direct light. We agreed with this thing of four or five shadows following the actors is dreadful.

Before I started my career in tv and film, the way I felt most comfortable expressing my feelings was through writing songs. It’s the best way to express emotions.

Although there was a screenplay, the actors never knew what questions I was going to ask them, and all of my character's voice-over narration and scenes were added after the fact.

Even for the most difficult scenes, and there are difficult scenes in the film, and because Michael Haneke is such a great film-maker - I think a great film-maker is not only being inspired, but how to do it, how to make it as real as possible, knowing that it's not real.

All actors do that. Should do that and do that. For the most part. I say all actors. I'm exaggerating, but you know who does and who doesn't. Vince is a wonderful young actor who knows his work and did a beautiful job on this film.

Bankers cannot afford to be concerned with only the economic aspects of projects. There may be serious implications on the natural environment, the urban environment, on human culture.

Violence is used to portray what happens in a film. It only helps portray the actors and what they do. I think it is more about the story, when you have something to play off of.

I like some of the early silent films because I love to watch how actors had to play then. What would interest me today is to do a silent film.

Authors who delight in making their readers assist at scenes of sexual orgies are generally very indifferent actors in such scenes. Personally I only know of one exception to this rule, Guy de Maupassant, and I saw him die of it.

Turning barren
The sun was never in shape and bright red
May be given wrong briefing and fed
Has taken long shelter of clouds and hiding
Little angry about the news that people are not abiding
I presumed about its being great source
Making its way with energy and force
Can any one light the entire area at ease?
Constant source of energy to release
Any thing can happen to entire globe?
It needs much thinking and probe
The dark and cold age is fast returning
Global warming and pollution is gradually turning
The ozone layer is facing rupture
Making direct impact on nature
Glaciers are melting and flooding the rivers
Cold is gripping and entire universe shiver
We may not find the same sun again
Entire world may have to think and regain
Turing to nature and old steps to revive
Very much essential if we all want to survive
The soil is eroded and turning barren
Not a blade of grass may grow even
Its fertility will be over and no production
Situation can be retrieved with new measures introduction
The sky is not even spared
Every angle is occupied and explored
Gravity and pull both easily compromised
Roaming objects move freely as totally demised
Heights may be lost with danger of free fall
No full proof security to put in force and recall
Progress is seen but with high risk consequences
Slowly it is reported as casual and normal instances
Sea is poisoned not for man but for rare species
Everybody has lost ground including rare fishes
Where will we find them again for the fault of our race?
They may be lost for ever with becoming extinct face
Long sea beaches are loosing glamour
Flooding with seepage and spoiling nature
Enormous damage to natural heritage
What else can we have as an advantage?
At least have awareness now and stop gas emission?
Not words alone but firm action without any commissions
We may fast disintegrate with nothing more to save
We are escaping every time with closed shave
Not the prosperity along should be measuring stick
The environment and nature must occupy our attention and tick
It needs not so much of investment or involvement
Only perseverance of natural wealth with environment
Let us build environment friendly atmosphere
We will loose natural beauty and find place to go no where
Beaches and sea costs are natural gifts and world heritage
It must be saves and preserved as natural advantage

I dont like the film
I dont like the film
Play it all back
Play it all back
And I dont like the scenery
And I dont like the set so
Pull it all down
Pull it all down
But I like the actors
And I like the show
Were so exposed
Were so exposed
Anything can happen
Anything can happen
Dont let them see
Dont let them know
And you wonder why
And you wonder why
Turn off the lights
And turn off the sound

I'll need every ounce that I have to drive it through. Film and TV require that energy. Sometimes fight scenes can be pretty intense. When I was shooting ""Heaven"" it was truly guerrilla film-making.

This was basically the first time I got to act in action scenes, with things blowing up all around me. It sounds corny, but I think every actor would like to - at least once in his or her career - play the person who saves the entire world.

A Letter Of Love
I sit and best search
For what words to write
To express my entire devotion
Which seems to have fallen to you
I find myself thoughts adrift
Amid a dream of you my sweet
A dream I do not wish to wake from
No I only wish to be with you
How can I best pen such tribute
That you will read and love
As I now love you
Of all the words ever spoken
Of those once listen to
Which I demand of myself
May express my entire devotion
My heart is sworn
In writing to you
