You can think of my films as cautionary tales, but you might even think of them as despairing tales, because at least in a cautionary tale, you have this idea that by listening to the story you can assure a better outcome. Whereas I'm not at all convinced that's the case. In fact, if anything, I'm convinced that it's the opposite.

Errol Morris

We have seen many child actors who have gone astray. They were particular that 'Zakhm' was going to be my last film as a child actor and after that I took a six year break for education.

Shweta Basu Prasad

I realised after doing 'Tanu Weds Manu' that I had become fat and was not performing to the mark. I realised that I had become a terrible actor. I did 'Jodi Breakers,' which did not do well.

But during my college days, I began to get offers for modelling.

Arjun Rampal

I didn't realize how limiting an R rating is. I made 'Disco' as a cautionary tale for 14- and 15-year-old girls, and those girls were not allowed to see the film by their parents.

Whit Stillman

Hollywood is a film industry, a film business. I don't approach my career in that way. I see it as 'art,' and I become involved in films that ring my bell.

Sissy Spacek

There's a perception in the industry that if the actor is not working or has taken a timeout, he or she has left the film circuit.

'Lawrence of Arabia' is a film that anyone wanting to become an actor should watch at least six hundred times.

Sid Haig

Even after nine flops, an actor will get his tenth film. But, if a director gives a flop after nine hits, he will not get another film. That is the way the industry functions.

P. Vasu

I did a deal with my parents to take a year out before university at the end of 1992 to try and forge a career in motor sport. I still haven't gone. I left school at 18 and that was it.
