My grandfather D. Ramanaidu has been in the film business for over 50 years, so I grew up in films.
I made films with my brothers and my cousins and if any of the films ever come to fruition my career will be in ruins because the acting, writing, and directing is so unbelievably, heinously bad. We once screened one for my grandfather, this film that we had painstakingly made over a couple of days when we were all 10 years old, and he sat there and he said, "This is the worst film I've ever seen." No sympathy whatsoever.
I grew up in the business since I was three years old so I've always kind of been in front of the camera and grew up in commercials and I knew that I wanted to do it no matter what, I just loved it.
Over the years, there is a kind of film that the audience associates with my name. A brand has been built with the kind of films I've made and I want to keep that up.
I grew up watching films. Film has been part of my life since I was a child.
It's been 50 years since I was on the roof of my parents' house shooting Hag in a Black Leather Jacket when I didn't even know there was such a thing as editing. I thought you just shot the film and showed it. That's exactly what I did. I'm not that different 50 years later.
My mother has been in films for 50 years. She is very insightful. She has been invaluable to me in choosing films and other routine things.
I grew up on the commercial film format. I have grown up all my life watching films and they have all been mainstream commercial cinema.
Deacon Jones grew up a street over from my grandfather, where I was raised.
I grew up in a modern business environment and did not experience the kind of prejudice that my mother and grandfather experienced.
I grew up on film sets but more around the process of making films. I saw a lot of the editing process and the writing process, which takes years. That really affected me growing up, that side of it.
I've been the movie business for over 50 years, and I've done everything imaginable that could be done or ever was done by anybody.
I came out of film school and went after movies that I thought audiences wanted to see or that the studios wanted, as opposed to the movies that I wanted. Over the last 10 years, I've gravitated more and more toward the films that I grew up loving - classic Spielberg, Lucas, James Cameron and Ridley Scott movies.
I interned at NASA for five years, and I grew up in Cape Canaveral, and my grandfather was an engineer on the Mercury capsule, and my grandmother was a software engineer. I literally grew up playing on the Mercury capsule prototypes.
I've made over 220 films. Of these 220 films, 100 films are not good, 50 are okay, and 50 are very good.
It's very rare that you get to play a character over the course of so many films. Bella meant a lot to me and she will always be such a formative event in my career. I grew up with her and she and I have been on this great journey together. I also see many parallels between her evolution and my own because I lived through so many things along the way while playing Bella and having this connection to so many people involved in making the films over the years. It would be impossible for me to separate my world from Bella's.
I loved all the princess films, and I grew up with them, and I think it's really cool how they've changed over the years - how the princesses have become more positive role models right up until 'Frozen.'
