actors directors like-me
As a director, I wouldn't like me as an actor. As an actor, I wouldn't like me as a director.
art thinking expression
I can't think of anything outside of having the gift yourself and creating yourself. I can't think of the next better thing to do than being able to put it back. Creative expression, I think, is vital to the success of any society.... A society without art will die.
talking issues different
I learned early that you'd better know what you're talking about. You'd better realize that certain issues are going to be so hot - no matter what reason, what logic you apply to it - you're going to be met with an opposition just because their viewpoint is different, and there's no way they're going to accept your reasoning. Furthermore, they're going to attack you because you will be portrayed as not being credible: "You're an actor. What do you know?"
balance hearing tools
When I grew up, shame was used as a tool for check and balance. If you stood a chance of hearing someone say, "Shame on you," or "You should be ashamed of yourself," you thought twice. It doesn't seem to be a factor today.
careers passionate environment
I used to feel competitive about a career, but now the only things I'm really passionate about are my family, the environment and Indians.
greed hollywood driving
It's all about greed and money and it's the driving force in Hollywood.
normal events should
You should prepare when you go to a public event to be public. That's when I will sign autographs. But not when you're going about your normal business.
hero television want
Television tells us only the things it wants to. It still feeds us heroes, it still offers villains. And even though we know better than to always trust it, we still watch.
character cartoon hell
You work like hell to get yourself ahead in the business. You could go anywhere before, and suddenly you can't go anywhere. It's like being a cartoon character.
technology thinking mind
It's hard to pay attention these days because of multiple affects of the information technology nowadays. You tend to develop a faster, speedier mind, but I don't think it's necessarily broader or smarter.
moving past danger
Never revisit the past, that's dangerous. You know, move on.
country feet america
From my experience in my country, America over and over again takes itself right to the brink, it puts one foot over but it never goes over. It wakes up at the last minute and says woah, and then pulls back.
ambiguity complexity
Ambiguity is something that I really respond to. I like the complexity of it.
hollywood seems
It seems everyone in Hollywood is getting pinched, lifted and pulled. I'm looking weird because I'm not.
