Filmmaking is not the work of the weak-minded. It may not be rocket science, but it requires ten times more strength of the mind than that.

Without art, a film is pure wastage of time and resources.

Oscar may be the world’s most glorious way of honoring your work, but the real award for a filmmaker is the contentment which you receive from making your film.

A movie is not a movie, it is a potential nuclear furnace of inspiration, courage and conscience.

Give people films, they will forget after a few weeks, but give people ideas, they will assimilate them into their consciousness.

Make movies my friend – make nice, inspiring and bold movies that will penetrate the darkest corners of the human mind and illuminate the soul.
