Anurag Kashyap

There is more to Indian cinema than just Bollywood. I think regional cinema, especially Tamil and Marathi cinema, are exploring some really bold themes.

Studios never put pressure. They know the kind of films I want to make.

I'm a huge Coppola fan. But more of 'Apocalypse Now' and 'The Conversation.' 'The Godfather' for me is, like, number three or four on the list.

Just as young people absorb all kinds of messages from the media, young girls learn what it means to be a woman by watching the older women in their lives.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
