'The Last Airbender' is genetically engineered for me. I love martial arts. I study it. The movie's based on a lot of Buddhist and Hindu philosophy. I was raised Hindu.

More quotes by M. Night Shyamalan
There is no one looking out for us. We are all alone.
M. Night Shyamalan
This is the problem with being Indian. It's hard to be one of the family members. Everybody is white usually [in the movie].
M. Night Shyamalan
You're never the same. You're degrading, or you're getting better. You don't stay the same.
M. Night Shyamalan
I find it very eerie when somebody is being really polite.
M. Night Shyamalan
See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky?

You don't want to watch classics with me 'cause I'm constantly writing notes.
M. Night Shyamalan
I wouldn't describe myself as a do-gooder. That's really more my wife. I'm kind of just the obsessed guy who's been writing and making movies since I was a little kid, just in a room and make it.
M. Night Shyamalan
People break down into two groups. When they experience something lucky, group number one sees it as more than luck, more than coincidence. They see it as a sign, evidence, that there is someone up there, watching out for them. Group number two sees it as just pure luck. Just a happy turn of chance.
M. Night Shyamalan
There are scenes that were right on the edge, but I always try to err on non-indulgence. It's something that I'm very careful about, that I'm just leaning too hard into something.
M. Night Shyamalan
I love stage actors. The pool of world class actors that have done theater [is big], there's a higher opportunity of grabbing somebody from that pool.
M. Night Shyamalan
I'm from that world where I feel so comfortable making small independent movies.
M. Night Shyamalan
I love 'The Killing', I love 'Homeland' and 'Mad Men', all those shows that lean into the tone of things.
M. Night Shyamalan
The beauty of the world of Unbreakable is that you're playing it for reality. It should never feel like a comic book movie. It feels like a straight-up drama. It's real. You're confronting the possibility that comic book characters were based on people that were real.
M. Night Shyamalan
My philosophy is to make movies with the biggest possible budget that will allow it to be made in an independent fashion.
M. Night Shyamalan
You don't have your film finished when you have your director's cut finished. It's just a bunch of green screen.
M. Night Shyamalan
I'm super confident about creative stuff, and I'm really not confident about human interactions stuff.
M. Night Shyamalan
Movies will end up being this esoteric art form, where only singular people will put films out in a small group of theaters.
M. Night Shyamalan
I'm so from the Woody Allen/Spike Lee school.
M. Night Shyamalan
I storyboard every shot of my thrillers in general. I draw them out and do them.
