I don't think that theater is the higher medium, that it's better than film.

I think it's important that we all try to give something to this medium, instead of just thinking about what is the most efficient way of telling a story or making an audience stay in a cinema.

I personally enjoy theatre, but preferably I do films so that I can reach up to maximum audience. If you want to give a serious message, it will reach out to maximum people through films. But through theatre, you can hardly reach out to about 3,000 audience at a time.

I care about the connection with the audience. Film is such a powerful medium. Movies can change the way people think.

Film is a very intimate medium.

Theater is still a medium which attracts young writers. You'd think that it would be all over by now, with television and film. But it's not.

Movies are a commercial medium. We don't make movies to impress our friends and critics. It's an expensive medium. We have to gain money from it.

Theatre's a whole different beast to film. It requires a lot more of you.
