“I am a product of Indian cinema; I've grown up watching Indian films ever since I can remember.

“Both sex and death are eternal themes. You could make thousands of movies on this theme, and whether you have a human being who is painting, singing, making a film, writing, these are the themes that you will come back to and return to. If you don't have any of these artistic expressions, sex is one of the only gifts that nature gave you for free, so it is very important to celebrate it. And then, with death, we are condemned to that. This is absolutely present in our lives.” IfsWritingHumansImportantFilmSexHuman BeingsOur LivesPaintingExpressionReturnEternalSingingCelebrateArtisticThemeArtistic ExpressionSex And DeathFilm Writing Author:Pedro Almodovar

“I have skipped from style to style from film to film, and I love doing that because it's given me the ability to free myself from the past. Perhaps one of the worst feelings that I can have is the feeling that I'm locked in, like a prisoner of myself, which is something we all feel at some point in our lives. So part of making those stylistic jumps is just to free myself up-to get away from the old or the old Oliver Stone.” FeelsI CanFeelingsPastFilmGivenAbilityOur LivesWorstStyleStonesGet AwayPrisonerLocked Author:Oliver Stone
