More quotes by 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 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
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
The whole world makes comic book movies now.
M. Night Shyamalan
You don't want to watch classics with me 'cause I'm constantly writing notes.
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 want to make a bunch of small movies. I'm really interested in that for me in the future.
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
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
You're never the same. You're degrading, or you're getting better. You don't stay the same.
M. Night Shyamalan
I'm from that world where I feel so comfortable making small independent movies.
M. Night Shyamalan
Giving should be a part of your routine, just like working out, eating, and sleeping.
M. Night Shyamalan
When you find your voice, your life takes on grace.
M. Night Shyamalan
I'm so from the Woody Allen/Spike Lee school.
M. Night Shyamalan
Is it possible that there are no coincidences?
M. Night Shyamalan
I storyboard every shot of my thrillers in general. I draw them out and do them.
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
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
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
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
