Interview on Calcuttatube on Remakes http://calcuttatube.com/arin-paul-exclusive-interview/1608/
“I don't believe in remakes. I think original films are classics and one can't make it or match up to it (original film) the same way. And even if they do there will be comparisons…it's not a good idea”

Famous Quotes

“Don't make a film if it can't be the film you want to make.”
On making films, from David Lynch: Dune Interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lZKcW9OGoU&feature=channel&list=UL.
Context: Don't make a film if it can't be the film you want to make. It's a joke, and a sick joke, and it'll kill you.

“It's already getting more and more difficult to make an ambitious and original film.”
"Roman Polanski: An Exclusive Interview" by Taylor Montague http://web.archive.org/web/20041121095701/http://www.geocities.com/mishaca/interviews/polanski.html
Context: It's already getting more and more difficult to make an ambitious and original film. There are less and less independent producers or independent companies and an increasing number of corporations who are more interested in balance sheets than in artistic achievement. They want to make a killing each time they produce a film. They're only interested in the lowest common denominator because they're trying to reach the widest audience. And you got some kind of entropy. That's the danger; they look more alike, those films. The style is all melting and it all looks the same. Even young directors — for most of them, their only standard of achievement is how well their films do on the first weekend or whatever. It worries me. But then, from time to time, you have a film like The Usual Suspects or.... I'm trying to think of something American with some kind of originality... Pulp Fiction.
