I think it's more normal to make a movie dealing with love, sexual or not, than to make movies about bank robberies, which very rarely happen in real life. So I would say the problem is not what some people feel is normal, I would say the problem is why this whole industry is far more obsessed with filming scenes of dominance, guns, invasion. — Gaspar Noe
I have always been focused on my job. No profession allows you the luxury of being half-focused. If you're not into it, you're not there. And the film industry is all the more harsh in these cases, perhaps because it's a business of the limelight. — Deepika Padukone

People have forgotten how to tell a story. — Steven Spielberg
The tendency in the media is to portray everyone in the film industry as sex-starved creatures. Please spare us. — Madhuri Dixit

successful to be appreciated. — Shahid Kapoor
It's weathered many a storm, but the British film industry is, thankfully, still afloat. — Peter Capaldi
