I've never been a part of a film before that offers such a platform into real issues, that raises social awareness and has the potential to change things.

I feel a real sense of duty to use the voice and the platform I've been afforded by my fame to speak out for those whose voices don't get a chance to be heard.

As an artist, all I want is to be a part of good films.

The big thing for me is to make films that you feel, whether you feel happy, whether you feel sad, whether you feel sick; it's to make the audience feel so that the next day they remember what they saw.

I do a film if it interests me, has a connect with the audience and some entertainment value. The rest doesn't matter.

I like to make films where I learn along the way, like the audience.

I'm not a politician; I'm lucky to be a filmmaker and to be able to express myself through the films I make.

I like giving the audience a lot of stuff to look at, and rewards for repeated viewings and paying attention.

I feel I have a political duty to reach out to the general public. I want to make films that the people want to see. So if the people want to see Johnny Depp or Tom Cruise, then it is really my job to incorporate them into my films.
