Rituparno Ghosh is a legendary director, and I happen to be a huge fan of his.
Todd Solondz is one of my favorite directors.
I think [ Lars Von Trier] is a fantastic filmmaker. No question. You've got to be ready for him. He's sharp and he's got a sharp tongue and I love that. He doesn't mind it back.
In retrospect, 'Pulp Fiction' isn't just the template for everything Tarantino has done but the yardstick by which everything else he does is measured one way or another.
I love Lars von Trier. 'Dogville' is my favourite movie of the last 20 years. 'Nymphomaniac' and 'Melancholia' aren't quite as exciting as 'The Kingdom', 'Breaking the Waves', or 'The Idiots', but I'll always love him for being him.
Woody Allen is kind of the one example I don't have. Because the way he works and the amount of shooting time that I did on that film, I didn't really get to know him, so he kind of stays as "Woody Allen" to me.
Frank Miller is more of a visionary than any director I've ever worked with, and he achieves that vision better than anyone I've ever worked with.
Ram Gopal Varma cannot have a genre at all. He creates genres.
Karan Malhotra is an amazing director, but he's strict.
I like movies that have strong personalities, and Michel Gondry is so creative that his films are always something special to watch.
If people remember me for any scene in a Lars von Trier film, I'm extremely honoured and forever grateful.
