movie-making

Whatever genre you deem suitable for your taste _ romance, comedy, action, mystery, sci-fi or anything else, make sure it has the plain everyday human kindness.

Take the clapper and become the alarm that the world so desperately needs.

Use filmmaking for a greater purpose, than to just entertain some drowsy minds. Wake the whole world up with your movies. It has been sleeping for long. Its eternal sleep has become its darkest nemesis. Now is the time to wake it up.

Make films that purify the soul with the flow of rational, vigorous and compassionate thinking.

The art of filmmaking is the most influential form of art that has ever existed throughout the history of human artistic endeavors.

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

Use filmmaking to eliminate racism _ use to it terminate misogyny _ use it to destroy homophobia and all other primitiveness.

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

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

Filmmaking has the power to fortify the feeble, unify the divided, raise the abandoned and inspire the ignorant.

I say making movies is like eating a sandwich of shit. Sometimes you get more bread, sometimes less bread, but you always get shit." (Guardian interview 2006)

The true ENTREPRENEUR is a risk taker, not an excuse maker.

That's what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination. We instill hope again and again and again.

A Film has the potential to kindle such a spark of inspiration in an individual that it can alter the course of human progress.

Entertain, but also, give the viewer something to think about.

Healthy entertainment does not evoke raw emotions in the mind of a viewer only to make them wreak havoc, rather it guides those emotions in a healthy direction.

Healthy entertainment is a beautiful blend of stimuli that can connect with the viewer at a sentimental level, then sow the seeds of a certain idea or feed the mind with inspiration and courage. In short, healthy entertainment does not evoke raw emotions in the mind of a viewer only to make them wreak havoc, rather it guides those emotions in a healthy direction. This leads to not only an entertained viewer, but also an inspired soul. And that should be the purpose of film-making, and indeed the entire entertainment industry, rather than feeding the general population with garbage.
