More quotes by M. Night Shyamalan
I'm so consistent that my director's cuts are usually 20-25 minutes longer than the released version of the movies.
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
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
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
Basically, when I'm writing something, I think about what is the subject of the piece. The subject of the piece is our fear of getting old, which is a variation on our fear of dying.
M. Night Shyamalan
Most of the time, I don't watch classics with anybody. I have to be by myself. That's my classroom.
M. Night Shyamalan
I'm so from the Woody Allen/Spike Lee school.
M. Night Shyamalan
Each of the actors need to have their justification for saying something awful. You want everyone to have a positive and negative thing. Even a positive thing needs to have darkness in it. It needs to have depth.
M. Night Shyamalan
Giving should be a part of your routine, just like working out, eating, and sleeping.
M. Night Shyamalan
I always thought I was going to be the film guy until I died.
M. Night Shyamalan
For instance, The Sixth Sense had mediocre to bad reviews. Slowly, the audience pushed it and it received critical attention.
M. Night Shyamalan
The whole world makes comic book movies now.
M. Night Shyamalan
Sometimes we do not do things that we wish to do, so others will not know that we wish to do them.
M. Night Shyamalan
Anime is intended to have ambiguous features. That's part of the art form.
