Rajkumar Hirani

Writing a script consumes so much of time.

Whenever I finish a film, I feel that this is the worst film that I have made. This is bound to happen because while writing, directing and editing a film, I would have lived it 5000 times. Naturally, one tends to loose objectivity.

I take time to write my script, if I have more scripts, I will make more movies.

It takes time to write a script and properly make the film and edit it.

As writers, we are sketching people all the time when we write fiction.

In Hollywood, the system is so streamlined, the administration is in place. That's why every six months Spielberg is able to make a film.

Editing is a meditative process. I enjoy it the most. I am not dealing with 200 people.

Writing is a lonely process.

When you focus on your own work, it all falls in place. People respect you.

When I make a film, the yardstick is my mind. If I laugh at the jokes and feel sad at the serious undersides, then the subject works.

I don't think anything comes naturally; you just have to work very hard.

Filmmaking is a very collaborative art. Unlike a painting that an artist paints sitting by himself, as a director, you have to work with a team.
