More quotes by M. Night Shyamalan
One of the reasons I really love low budget filmmaking is you don't have to think about that as much. You can have more fun and be more playful and be freer creatively.
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
There is no one looking out for us. We are all alone.
M. Night Shyamalan
Is it possible that there are no coincidences?
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
The muscles that writers need for film are very different from TV muscles. Now, when I hire the writers and put the writers' room together, I know where their muscles need to be.
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 find it very eerie when somebody is being really polite.
M. Night Shyamalan
I'm super confident about creative stuff, and I'm really not confident about human interactions stuff.
M. Night Shyamalan
I think I take what you might call a B-movie story, deal with B-movie subjects, and I treat it as if it's an A-movie in terms of my approach, my crew, my actors, my ethics and so on. I guess that's my trademark or one of them anyway!
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?
M. Night Shyamalan
The beauty is that we can blur film and TV a little bit more.
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
For instance, The Sixth Sense had mediocre to bad reviews. Slowly, the audience pushed it and it received critical attention.
M. Night Shyamalan
I always thought I was going to be the film guy until I died.
M. Night Shyamalan
Anime is intended to have ambiguous features. That's part of the art form.
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
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
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
'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.
