As her parents, Aishwarya and I want our child to be happy and healthy. I was guarded from all this (media attention and showbiz world). The trade magazine and all was banned in my house. The first time I read a film magazine was when I was 18.

If people are looking forward to my films, then I am happy, and I must be doing something right.
A successful film is a good film, and a non-successful film is a bad film. It's as simple as that.
I do films that I like. I have done comedy, romance, everything, and I always like to do it differently from the previous ones.
The only fear I have is that I will wake up one day and nobody will allow me to do films. This is a fear every actor has.
Most horror films fail to scare me. I think 'The Ring' plays more as a psychological thriller. It's smarter, there's more character development and some of the themes explored go a little deeper.
Juilliard definitely emphasizes the theater. They don't train - at all really - for film acting. It's mostly process-oriented, pretty much for the stage.
It’s funny, though, speaking of fathers and sons, because me and John Goodman played father and son, like, five or six years ago in the film Death Sentence [2007], and I got back with him again in Inside Llewyn Davis.
A film that aims low should not be praised for hitting that target.
There's the argument that you can relate to someone who's completely unrelatable. In the way that a director shows you his imagination on a film, then I get to show you my imagination in a big dumb character.
When I first came to Hollywood, I used to dream of doing films and escaping television.
Unfortunately for the 'Tomorrow' series, I feel that for the actors that were in the first film, maybe our commitment to it is done.
I played the best role I've ever seen on TV or film in the last five years. It was hugely gratifying.
What I had to say was, in general, I'm not really a fan of any one genre of any kind of film.
I'm always honored, but I think for every 100 of those that come along, one of them is actually going to happen. And, the fact that this was an offer on a major film that had a start date, was pretty impressive.
We look at it as the multiverse. We have our TV universe and our film universe, but they all co-exist.
I hate watching myself on film because I am so judgmental.
I don't think any actors love taking their clothes off on film, unless you're an exhibitionist, which I'm certainly not.
My family was never cultural in that we never went to see plays, my mum wasn't very into films.
I've done about four deaths in films now, and I think it's quite good because then it's sort of a memorable moment in the film.
It used to be you did TV or you did film. Now it's like a media blitz.
There's been a slow death in a way. On the positive side, there are films getting into the Academy Awards that wouldn't have, but on the negative side, financiers are now dominant and making all the decisions. I can't count the ways a director's vision is compromised.
As a performer, you can't just sit around waiting for the phone to ring. You have to write and develop projects for yourself, because casting people aren't always going to see you the way you want to be seen. Write a one-person show, shoot a short film, do plays, whatever - activity breeds activity. No one's interested in a stay-at-home actress.
There's such a sense of theatre in getting glammed up; it's like putting on a play or short film.
