Chris Klein Quotes

All the movies where I play nice guys don't seem to do very well.

Films that score very high with test audiences generally tend to not be so great. But, there's a lot of money involved in making movies, and it's a way for people to reassure themselves, who have spent money, and it's also a way to work out how to market a movie.

I want people to see my name on a movie, pay money and know they're going to be entertained for 90 minutes.

Everybody loves a hit. There is nothing as fun as making a cultural splash with a movie.

Ideally, I'd like to have a movie that people like and makes money.

They put all this money into these huge films and then no one goes to see them. That sort of shows they're out of touch. Then everyone in town passes on my little movie and it does really well.

My career is too short for there to be any turns! But I would say that not everyone is noticed and accepted in their debut films. I was accepted both by the industry and the audience.

If Hello' had been my debut film, the numbers would have played out differently.

My first film, 'Ishaqzaade,' did well, and I got four damn good films because of it.

Some movies work and some don't.

Being able to work on a film like 'Crazy Rich Asians' as your first role is phenomenal.

I wish that 'Yama Pasham' will be a bigger hit than 'Krishnagaadi Veera Prema Gaadha.'

I have seen this whole process of films releasing, becoming hits or flops, for too long now to expect things to do well. If I expect a film to do well, then it is for somebody else's sake, not for my own. I do my work, and if you feel that my work is improving from film to film, then I have done my part of the job.
