When you drop your guard in films, the acting process compensates. You get lazy and you start acting.

Once I start painting, once I start acting and working, it's not a holiday. It's not a respite, but it is, in a sense, a balance, but it's of equal weight. It's a balance; it does balance out.

There's so much crap talked about acting.

I think that various styles and methods and approaches are an invention of people who don't understand the process of acting and who try very hard to label things.

The camera does not like acting. The camera is only interested in filming behaviour. So you damn well learn your lines until you know them inside out, while standing on your head!

There was one titanic guiding light on the film set, and I was in the presence of a true Mahatma, in the deepest and most profound sense of the word.
