More quotes by M. Night Shyamalan
I'm from that world where I feel so comfortable making small independent movies.

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 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
Filmmakers have to find the right materials to match their [voice].
M. Night Shyamalan
Is it possible that there are no coincidences?
M. Night Shyamalan
You don't get to celebrate yourself unless you risk being mocked or rejected. As an artist, you cannot play it safe. You just can't.
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
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
Anime is intended to have ambiguous features. That's part of the art form.
