Speaking English is like tongue-twist for me. I can speak each word perfect, but then you have to string them together like, ‘Blah, blah, blah.’ That’s when I get crazy.

When life knocks you down, you can choose to get back up.

Cinema reflects culture and there is no harm in adapting technology, but not at the cost of losing your originality.
