More From Satyajit Ray

Men are four; he who knows and knows not that he knows. he is asleep; wake him. he who knows not and knows not that he knows not. he is a fool; shun him. he who knows not and knows that he knows not. he is a child; teach him. he who knows and knows that he knows. he is a king; follow him. the heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.
Kings Children Night
There are four types of men in this world: 1. the man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. the man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. the man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.
Inspirational Wise Wisdom
With a director it's all about the work; i'd work with a great director over - you know, i'm not the kind of actor who that doesn't go, 'i want to play this role.' it's more like, 'i want to work with this director,' regardless of what the role is because if it's a good director, you'll probably find a good role because it's a decent film. but a mediocre director will always make a mediocre movie.
Kind Film Mediocre
With a good script a good director can produce a masterpiece; with the same script a mediocre director can make a passable film. but with a bad script even a good director can’t possibly make a good film. for truly cinematic expression, the camera and the microphone must be able to cross both fire and water. that is what makes a real movie. the script must be something that has the power to do this.
Real Fire Expression
Independent means one thing to me: it means that regardless of the source of financing, the director's voice is extremely present. it's such a pretentious term, but it's auteurist cinema. director-driven, personal, auteurist... whatever word you want. it's where you feel the director, not a machine, at work. it doesn't matter where the money comes from. it matters how much freedom the director has to work with his or her team. that's how i personally define independent movies.
Team Mean Independent
Well, there's two things i have criteria for doing a film: the script, which is the story, and the filmmaker, and it's a filmmaker's medium. i like really strong directors, and so when i do a film, i'm out there to serve the director, really, which is in turn to serve the script, to serve the director cause he's the one making the film. i relied on todd haynes for that.
