Filmmaking is a great adventure. I’m as excited as a kid to be given tickets to fly suddenly to England, South Africa, America, everywhere. I’m still a 13-year-old kid, flying Picture Quote #1

I am not possessive at all. In every relationship I have had, the girl has left me. And the fundamental complaint has been that I am self-contained. I am just comfortable with myself and am always on an adventure Picture Quote #1

The question is - did Richard Attenborough have a right to make ‘Gandhi?’ And did Danny Boyle have a right to make ‘Slumdog Millionaire?’ Quite honestly, if they didn’t have the right to make these films, I had no right to make ‘Elizabeth.’ Picture Quote #1

I think that I altered history in ‘Elizabeth,’ and I interpreted history far more than Danny Boyle or Richard Attenborough did to ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ or ‘Gandhi.’ They took Indian novels or Indian characters and very much stayed within the Indian diaspora Picture Quote #1
