I entered the film industry sprinting, but not for long.
When I entered the industry in the early 1970s, I was a gold medalist from the film institute, Pune. That was when graduates from the film institute were very quickly absorbed by the mainstream commercial industry.
I never entered the film industry with any expectation.
When I entered the film industry, I didn't know anything about acting.
I entered the film industry because my family forced me into it.
I only entered the industry when I was 16. I really didn't have much of a struggle to land myself a role in a film.
When I entered the film industry, I hadn't dreamt that I would work in so many movies and opposite so many reigning and future heroes.
There are few teachers from the film industry to guide newcomers. One can see a gap between the film industry and those teaching at film schools.
After I entered the film industry, I restricted my non-veg diet to fish and chicken. I can't, however, remain without non-veg food even for a single day.
In my opinion, having worked in the games industry and still keeping in touch with a lot of those guys, there was definitely a time when they saw themselves as the little brother of the film industry. But they kind of went off in a different direction and now see themselves, I think, as being far more interesting and ahead of the film industry. They haven't just caught up. They've gone off in a different direction and exceeded the film industry.
Making a movie is like sprinting. Nightclub work is a long-distance event. You have to pace yourself and sustain it for a long period.
I think you're peripatetic when you work in this industry. My husband and I are assuming the role of co-artistic directors at the Sydney Theatre Company in 2008. But as long as the film industry will have me, I will have it.
I entered the film industry as a background dancer and then gradually rose step by step. Now I am a judge and a filmmaker, but amongst everything, my personal favourite continues to be dancing, as it is what has led me to the rest.
In the film industry you work very long hours, and making a film is a very intense process.
I love sprinting, but I hate long-distance running. Isn't that funny?
The film industry sees the writer as fungible: The thinking goes, As long as we have Brad Pitt and all this money, we have a great film! No, you need a writer with voice and an engaging story, or what you have is a bomb.
I find myself apologising for not being a proper actor. I never intended to be involved in the film industry and still do feel that, with the exception of a couple of brief skirmishes with the film industry.
