More quotes by 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
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
I love 'The Killing', I love 'Homeland' and 'Mad Men', all those shows that lean into the tone of things.
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
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
You're never the same. You're degrading, or you're getting better. You don't stay the same.

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
I always thought I was going to be the film guy until I died.
M. Night Shyamalan

M. Night Shyamalan
The beauty is that we can blur film and TV a little bit more.
M. Night Shyamalan
I storyboard every shot of my thrillers in general. I draw them out and do them.
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
I wouldn't describe myself as a do-gooder. That's really more my wife. I'm kind of just the obsessed guy who's been writing and making movies since I was a little kid, just in a room and make it.
M. Night Shyamalan
Giving should be a part of your routine, just like working out, eating, and sleeping.
M. Night Shyamalan
Anime is intended to have ambiguous features. That's part of the art form.
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
When you find your voice, your life takes on grace.
