Americans Are Hidden Dragons To Me.

My Hometown Was One Of The Major U.s. Air Force Bases.

First We Pre-visualized It [the Flying Fish Scene In 'life Of Pi'] So The Actors Could Act. It Took A Long Time To Get That To Come To Life And To Design Those Coming Out Of The Screen. We Had Great Fun With That. It Takes A Long Time, A Year Maybe.

So There Was One Point I Thought I Was Gonna Lose It, But Once I Get On Something I Have To Finish It; I Just Kept Persuading Them And They Turned Around. One Good Thing Was The International Guys Really Stood Behind This Movie, They Thought They Could Support This Film. So These Guys Step Up And That's Really Good, And Then They Turned Around.

If There's Something That Can Be Formulated, Regulated, Give You Security, Then Nobody Would Lose Money. Every Movie Would Be Successful. And That's Certainly Not The Case.

If It Was A Choice Between Making Movies And Doing Nothing, He'd Probably Still Wish Me To Make Movies, So He Made Me Keep Going.
