More quotes by M. Night Shyamalan
When you find your voice, your life takes on grace.
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
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
The beauty is that we can blur film and TV a little bit more.
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
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 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.
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
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
I love 'The Killing', I love 'Homeland' and 'Mad Men', all those shows that lean into the tone of things.
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
I'm super confident about creative stuff, and I'm really not confident about human interactions stuff.
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
Is it possible that there are no coincidences?
M. Night Shyamalan
I find it very eerie when somebody is being really polite.
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
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
Filmmakers have to find the right materials to match their [voice].
M. Night Shyamalan
Giving should be a part of your routine, just like working out, eating, and sleeping.
M. Night Shyamalan
My philosophy is to make movies with the biggest possible budget that will allow it to be made in an independent fashion.
M. Night Shyamalan
