You can lose in cinema too if you don't put on a good performance.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think you can lose yourself more easily in a film than in the theater.
That's one of the things about theater vs. film - with theater, actors have a little more control, and one of the disappointing things about films is that once you're done shooting, anything can happen, you know?
One of the biggest challenges in my job is letting go of the movie once you go home at night, and knowing you can't do anything to your performance once you've laid it on film.
The bad things about theatre get balanced by the good things in film and vice versa. So to tell you the truth, I love it when I can go back and forth - it feeds different parts of you and exercises different muscles.
Cinema affects everything, from the way I get dressed to how I build my stages.
Cinema in India is like brushing your teeth in the morning. You can't escape it.
Film is fragmented and gets into lots of other people's hands. There are a lot of pleasures that theatre gives me. You get to perform uninterrupted.
Cinema should make you forget you are sitting in a theater.
Life is bigger than cinema. Cinema is just a part of life, so I never take success or failure seriously.
Doing cinema is not about watching yourself.
