More quotes by M. Night Shyamalan
I find it very eerie when somebody is being really polite.
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
Filmmakers have to find the right materials to match their [voice].
M. Night Shyamalan

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
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
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

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
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
Giving should be a part of your routine, just like working out, eating, and sleeping.
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
Is it possible that there are no coincidences?
M. Night Shyamalan
There is no one looking out for us. We are all alone.
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
Anime is intended to have ambiguous features. That's part of the art form.
M. Night Shyamalan
