There are so many elements that make a good film. You need a great director who's driving it.
David O. Russell is probably my favorite filmmaker. He's not only a great director, but he's also a great writer.
I don't want people saying, 'Should we get a female director?' I want to hear, 'Should we get a great director for this movie?'
Yeah, I mean I've definitely had a bunch of action scripts sent to me, but again I'm a stickler for directors. If it's like an action flick with a great director then it's like 'Oh let's look at this thing,' but if it's just like a shoot-em'-up with a first time director. I don't know if that's the trajectory I want to take with what I'm doing.

When you work with a great director, you realise you are far from being a director.
'Aashiq' is a romantic film, even though my character is a rather aggressive guy. You could even call it an intense romance. And working with Indra Kumar has been an excellent experience. He is a great director.
Larry Kasdan is a great director.
You can start with a great director and great actors and have a great script - and it still just doesn't work. It's kind of a mystery how that happens.
There are people who expect me to look the way I do on-screen, where I have a great director of photography and fantastic lighting. I'm sorry to disappoint people, but I don't look like that all the time - no actress does.
