I've crossed every bridge to become a Premier League goalkeeper, I think I'm going in the right direction and I think I'm mature as a goalkeeper.

Isn't composing music akin to film direction?

A good director makes a playground and allows you to play.

These days, you have the option of staying home, blogging in your underwear, and not having your words mangled. I think I like the direction things are headed.

Like wildebeest and zebra migration across the Serengeti, investment managers and consultants, too, have a habit of running together and, every now and then, changing direction.

As a journalist, as a screenwriter and as a director, I'm trying to tell compelling and truthful stories.

I had a casting director tell me to be blacker.

'Zakhm' was my last film as a director.

It is now such a complex society in terms of media. It just comes at us from every direction. You kind of have to push it all away.

Frank Capra's grandson was a second Assistant Director on 'Christmas Vacation.'

As a director, if you know what you want, then it's not scary.

Pooja Bhatt is a very good director.

Any kind of creative activity is likely to be stressful. The more anxiety, the more you feel that you are headed in the right direction. Easiness, relaxation, comfort - these are not conditions that usually accompany serious work.

Expeditions are escapism. The stuff that we're normally concerned about just doesn't matter out there. Tax returns, gas bill, none of it. Life becomes very simple, it's about moving in a certain direction - north if you're going north - staying warm and not getting eaten. That's it.

For me, directing a film is like confining myself. I want to do something beyond direction. I can conceive stories, write screenplays, etc. That's better for me.

If you're a fan of One Direction, 2015 felt like one hit after another. Between Zayn leaving and the band announcing their hiatus, this was the year that Directioners would love to pretend didn't exist.

Something I learned in the Marine Corps that I've applied to acting is, one, taking direction, and then working with a group of people to accomplish a mission and knowing your role within that team.

Intelligence, if it is clever in the direction of the better, is responsible for the greatest benefits of all.

I look forward to representing the voters of District 30 and moving the state in a new direction.
