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 from that world where I feel so comfortable making small independent movies.
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'm so from the Woody Allen/Spike Lee school.
