And that's another reason to make this movie: We can put plays on film now, at a relatively small cost, and they will reach an audience they would never have reached otherwise.

As rewarding as a good film role can be, there is just nothing like getting up on a stage and taking an audience for a ride. You make a movie, and the audience may not see it for another 10 months. Here, you know immediately their reaction.

The audience too should be respected by being presented with a film as they remember it, and for those who have not seen it, as it was intended to be seen. Anything less is a degradation of the film and its audience.

All these horror movies are slasher film now. I like them, they're fun, but they wink at the audience and you're really not terrified through the movie.

A small but brilliant advance made today by someone’s awareness may for the moment reach a very small audience, but insofar as it’s valid and beautiful, it will make its way and become part of the whole world of consciousness.

I did not make this a long film for its own sake. I wanted to make an entertaining film and offer it out there for those who want to see it. If word of mouth suggests there is an audience out there, hopefully their cinema will show it.

I don't know if I'd want to do that anymore, because you always get bigger laughs on college campuses. So, when the film plays in front of a city audience, you've probably cut too loosely.

I'm going to continue doing what I want to do. And if it means I want to go and make a big movie, if it has something to say, I will want to make it. I don't want to spend my life wasting my time. If it's a big movie, I want to do it. If it's a small movie, I want to do it.

When I'm shooting, really the audience I'm thinking the hardest about is that first test screening audience who I want to like the film and that first opening weekend audience.
Reservoir Dogs is a small film, and part of its charm was that it was a small film. I'd probably make it for $3 million now so I'd have more breathing room.

The Company of Wolves doesn't belong in any category, so it's difficult to prepare an audience for it. It's not a horror film, it's not a fantasy film, it's not a children's film - so what is it?

The King's Speech
That afternoon session
made such a big difference
from glorious days of the past
when youngsters and elders
in crowds gathered for a film and its cast.
The audience were small
but the film appealed to all
and once the lights were switched off
much of England's history
and the kingdom's stories
were lively unfolded.
There was a great suspense
around the movie room
focusing on George VI - so tense-
all awaiting the king's speech
after disturbing, moving scenes
of the speech therapist's endeavours
and tender family love.
A gracious protective lady,
a wife excelling in kindness
outshining her look motherly
along with the therapist, staff and all people
impatiently followed that speech
coming out in a first broadcast
without any breach! ...

I am going to produce a movie of my own. I am not going to stick to the time-tested formulae of Hindi cinema. I want to make a film for the present generation. So there will be a lot of new faces in the film.

Those Obscene Moments!
“ In multifarious roles,
she displays her talents
but they don’t give her an award.
In one film, she kills a lagerlout
tempting him to swig poisoned drinks.
In another she laments
Over her past sinful life.
She is a lascivious servant
in many a movie.
She would launch out often into crimes
and land up in police stations.
Her leer pulls the young and old
again and again to theatres squalid.
She is a mountain of flesh making
all the eyes longing and not blinking.
Fit for an international award! ”,
My friend lectured taking no break.
“ Please be calm for a while.
First I see that heroine in the film
and tell you then if she is fit”,
I replied and followed him into the theatre.
“In films meant for all, the teenaged heroines
display their navels and make obscene moves,
for the young boys to clap and whistle
and the awards rush to reach them,
despite their faces failing to show emotions”.
“ Yeah…Yeah. Please …the film is screened! ”,
I coaxed him to look at the screen.
The very beginning scene, a stolen video clip
mesmerized the audience to be in still.
But I heard groans and cries of my friend.
“Take him out”, some yelled from behind.
I took him out and looked at him.
“ How can I tell you? My own sister the worst one! ”,
he said and squatted on the floor.
I have no words to console him
and just patted on his back and led him out.
