In My Experience, Not Just In SHOOTING Films But In The Commercials I've Done, Initially, It's Very Exciting For The Community, And Its A Real Novelty. Very Quickly, THOUGH, They Realize There's A Buck To Be Had, And It Becomes Annoying, And They Lose Their Patience PRETTY Quick.

My Routine Is Similar To That Of A Nomad. But I Crave For The COMFORTS Enjoyed By A NORMAL GIRL. In Fact, While Shooting For My Debut Film, 'Sanam Teri Kasam,' I TURNED My Vanity Van Into My ROOM.

There Was A Scene In 'Qubool Hai' Where Asad Shoots His Father. After SHOOTING For It, I Was Drained Completely. At Times, My Character's MOOD GETS Very DEPRESSING. Post Shoot, It Takes A Good Half Hour To Get Out Of Character, To Leave Asad BEHIND.

I Could Be Shooting Myself In The Foot, But In Some Ways, I Feel I've SAID All I've NEEDED To Say When To Comes To, Say, The 'X-Men.' I Think I've HIT The BRIGHT Points, I Think I've Hit What I Wanted To Hit, And I Can Be Happy Moving On Doing Other THINGS.

For 'City Of GHOSTS,' I REALLY Didn't Speak Any ARABIC. It Obviously Made It More DIFFICULT, But I Also Found It To Be An Advantage While Shooting. It Allowed Me To Focus On The Emotion Of The Scene As Opposed To Just Chasing Dialogue.

Noises And Smells, Those Can Bring Back POWERFUL Memories. I Remember When I Was GOING To School One Fourth Of JULY, And There Were A Lot Of Fireworks Going Off. I Knew That I Was In Richmond. I Knew That I Was A College Student. But I THOUGHT People Were Shooting At Me.

To Bring A CHILD Into The WORLD That You Cannot Feed, Clothe, HOUSE, And Educate Is The Moral EQUIVALENT, In My OPINION, Of A Drive-by Shooting.

I Went On A Cross-country TRIP With Three Buddies To FIND Out What Our Generation Is About. I BOUGHT A Video CAMERA, Started Shooting, Learned As I Went, And Ended Up With 'Our Time,' A Feature-length Documentary About What It's Like To Be Young In AMERICA. I Was Hooked.

I'm Not A Big Fan Of Shooting SOMETHING That Looks LIKE It Could Belong In Any Movie. I'm Not A Fan Of, OKAY, 'wide Shot, Wide Shot, Medium Shot, CLOSE-UP, Close-up - We'll FIGURE It Out In Post.' I Hate That.
