Kerala is a small state, and Malayalam films are seen by only very few people. That doesn't bother me.

Sreenivasan

I respect Malayalam films the same way I respect Bengali films. I think Malayalam films have not compromised on the essence and have kept their own statement and are coming up with very good themes.

Prosenjit Chatterjee

The biggest challenge Malayalam cinema faces is territorial. We operate within a small territory in Kerala, and the Malayalam diaspora across the world in comparative terms is quite small. But we have world-class talent in terms of technicians, actors, and writers.

Prithviraj Sukumaran

I studied in Kerala, so learnt to read and write Malayalam.

Keerthy Suresh

My place is cemented in Malayalam films. Malayalam is not my language and it felt alien to me. But for them, I am someone from Karnataka who could deliver.

Meghana Raj

For me, Malayalam films remain the most important. I don't want to do more Tamil films just for the sake of it.

Tovino Thomas

The difference between ignorant and educated people is that the latter know more facts. But that has nothing to do with whether they are stupid or intelligent. The difference between stupid and intelligent people-and this is true whether or not they are well-educated-is that intelligent people can handle subtlety. They are not baffled by ambiguous or even contradictory situations-in fact, they expect them and are apt to become suspicious when things seem overly straightforward.

Michael Moore

The state of Kerala and Malayalam film industry has been like a home to me ever since I started my career as an actress.

Padmapriya Janakiraman

Everyone eats all kinds of food in Kerala. Kerala is one of the states where life span is the highest; and lifespan is closely linked to food habits. In Kerala, people are generally non-vegetarians. If it was bad for health, life expectancy would not have been so good.

Pinarayi Vijayan

I would love to act in more Malayalam films.

Sudha Chandran

There was a time when not many people had access to Malayalam films. So those who did have access went on to copy the films, add a few bits, and present it like it was their own.

Mohanlal

I am more comfortable working in Tamil films rather than in Malayalam.

Shamna Kasim

There's so much more subtlety to this new recording. There's a subtlety in the playing. There's also a subtlety in the way I approached the singing. The band was able to really capture the feeling of the songs and not really trade anything that we had sort of arranged for the live presentation, but the songs just aren't as loud.

Jason Molina

More meaningful cinema is being made, and that is the reason why you see a rejuvenated Malayalam film industry. But more films aimed at youth are needed.

Mammootty

The difference between stupid and intelligent people - and this is true whether or not they are well-educated - is that intelligent people can handle subtlety.
