Always carry a handkerchief. Especially in television studios.
We don't program movies. We don't run studios. We make movies.
My experience of test screenings is that you don't know what kind of mood people are going to be in, and sometimes the studios accept what Joe Blo says - and this guy could just be a frustrated filmmaker, or not paying attention.
Indian films have this obsession with hygienic clean spaces, even though the country's not so clean. They're either shot in the studios or shot in London, in America, in Switzerland - clean places. Everywhere except India.
Studios never put pressure. They know the kind of films I want to make.
Most horror films are made very cynically, and they're usually made by studios for an audience that they know is there, no matter what they put out. And there are always exceptions - every year, it seems we have a great one coming out.
For a long time, the film business was a single-digit business on investment return. Now, because of home video, it's a low double-digit business, and the studios want to make sure it doesn't go back into the single-digit business.
I do this weird thing in studios where I climb stuff when I get nervous.
I hate the idea of people thinking that I'm just a little girl who goes into studios with pop producers, and they work their magic.
I have a tendency to hire people who tend to be unattractive to the studios. Maybe this is a bad idea.
