“With the kind of money Bollywood directors have, they can at least add...” — Aparna Sen Quote

“With the kind of money Bollywood directors have, they can at least add drama, gloss and glamour to their films, even if the stories are uninspiring and run-of-the-mill.”

“You have woman filmmakers, who have a male gaze. They play according to the rules of the patriarchal system and make a success of it.”

“I grew up in a film lovers' family and I have been watching the best of world cinema from age six.”

“The more I make films, the more I feel less inclined to talk about them and just let people watch them. I feel that the pictures are telling the story, and I can't really add anything except just talking about the technicalities of what happened on the day.”

“It's an experience I'd like to add to the chorus, that these blue-collar, macho men, like my older brother, had the capacity to say: 'I don't care, I love you anyway.' There are young kids thinking: 'I'll never come out because it's too hard in our communities.' But I'm saying maybe your story can be similar to mine.”
