I want to do sensible films. — © Naga Chaitanya
I want to do sensible films.
I want to make sensible commercial films.
I like to do realistic films as well as sensible humourous subjects, just because I think these films are only capable to attract people to the theatres. Though I agree that serious movies are also good and I like to watch them, it is a fact that majority of the people are hesitant to go to theatres for those films.
I don't want to be the crazy showbiz family. When I walk into the PTA meetings with my sensible flat shoes and my sensible short wig, I do not look crazy.
The vampire or the bad guy, that's what people do remember. Lars von Trier, like Guy Maddin, their films are made for a group of exclusive people who like special films. And they are special films, they are art films. And I started with commercial films at the beginning, and later on, because you know, when you are an actor, you have the same cliché like everybody else, you want to be in big films, you want to be known and all that.
I sometimes hear people say women don't want to direct studio films, but I do. I want to direct big films, little films, TV. I want to do it all.
I want my films to do the talking. I feel if people have to understand me better, I should do more good films. I just want them to know me through my films.
I have done films only for the sake of money and sometimes, I have been duped into believing that the film is a sensible project.
One of the head guys at Disney categorically said to me, 'We don't want to make children's films any more. We want to make films that are going to appeal to all quadrants.' Hence you have films like 'Shrek' and all the Pixar stuff, which is designed to suit everybody.
I want to make films that are political and social. Films with a message or an idea. Films that dare to ask.
I'm not particularly interested in working with movie stars. It depends on where you come from, I suppose. Why are you making films? The reason I want make films is because they convey ideas. I think some directors make films because they want to hang out with movie stars and be part of Hollywood. They want to be a star themselves.
I want to do comedy films, serious films - I admire the actors who fly under the radar but get loads done, pop up in a lot of good films.
All sensible men are of the same religion, but no sensible man ever tells.
No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible.
Whether something is sensible or not is subjective. What is sensible to me might not be for others.
We'll set our approach to borrowing, to spending, to taxation, in a sensible way on a sensible timescale.
Even today, I'm not sure why I make films or what makes me want films. I think it's other people's films. Whenever I see a really great film, I think, 'I want to make a film like that.' And then I never do.
