With indies, all they have is their script and it's very important to them. The characters are better drawn, the stories more precise and the experience greater than with studio films where sometimes they fill in the script as they're shooting.

While more great films are being made every year, it is increasingly difficult to get indies into theaters or on TV.

Any film which views the darker side of life, which is death with a sense of humor, is very much to my taste.

Sometimes movies that I'm in that I have a leading role don't necessarily get the biggest release, so it's a difficult thing between balancing indies that have uncertain futures and maybe larger films that have guaranteed releases that you have a smaller part in.

You know, usually with movies there are periods, dark areas, where I might not be getting what I wanted out of a theme. I'll have to go over and over it again.

In India, the films are not looked upon just as entertainment. They're a way of life.

I'm a big fan of British cinema; I think we make some unbelievably brilliant films, but they can quite often have a dark feel.

Film is a medium of clear lines and broad strikes - which can be fantastic - but compared to the subtleties and nuances of a novel, it doesn't even get close.

It's rare that movies can sort of capture the tone of life; movies always feel like they have to be one thing or another.

Life is lived on the edge.
