Zitat des Tages von Imtiaz Ali:
My job is to tell a story, and the decisions about the casting have to be honest.
I want all my films to look distinctly different, like some other directors I admire. But in a way, I can't really take myself completely out of the movies I make.
Especially on unexpected journeys, you have time; you can figure certain deeper things out, like who you are and what you want. That's why I enjoy journeys.
Anything I wanted to do and achieve has not been influential in my life, but my failures have.
If a person wants to enjoy attention, he will create situations to get it.
I have always tried to make profitable films because people's offices shut down if films fail, and I will do everything to avoid that.
I'm not educated about cinema or genres.
The story of 'Highway' is completely about travel. It is about the fascination of travel to an extent that I don't want to even reach the destination and also being away from society gives you a certain view of the society, so that was the intention of the film.
I'm not the 'look at me' kind of a person. I do not like showing off in public or written about.
I want to direct what I feel is interesting - not what is supposed to be my zone.
The physical journey in my films is indicative of the internal journey that my characters take.
I'm a big foodie. Hyderabadi cuisine is amazing, and the kind of mutton dishes available at some restaurants in the Old City is incredible.
Dilip Kumar was the only Bollywood hero who could make a girl shiver just by looking at her. If you don't believe it, ask your mom!
'Love Aaj Kal' is not really a road movie, but it does involve some travel.
When you write a story, it just flows and you don't control it. It's subconscious.
Expenditure can't really guarantee a great experience. I don't even like shopping; I've never bought stuff for myself, and everything I wear are gifts from my brothers, friends and people.
My father did irrigation jobs, and I would sometimes accompany him, and that gave me a taste of what was going on in the innards of India.
