Los Angeles is much like Mumbai, the film industry rules the city over most other professions, so it feels like home.
Abhay Deol
Luckily, 'Rakta Charitra' did well in the South and I started getting a lot offers from the Tamil and Telegu film industry.
Abhimanyu Singh
In the Indian film industry, especially those of us who are in mainstream cinema, we invariably play a typical hero's role. More often than not, we cater to the public perception. However, there is a latent desire in most actors to do a role where you can go all out and experiment.
Abhishek Bachchan
My story is similar to every ordinary Indian boy's tale. My father wanted me to become an engineer or a professional but I was sure that I have to be in the Hindi film industry. I joined college through the quota for extra curricular activities but I am still not a graduate.
Abhishek Banerjee
The thing with the film industry is if you become popular in one kind of role, you keep getting cast in the same thing.
I guess people feel that if you're working with good directors and are known in the Hindi film industry, then you won't work in South films. However, I believe that films have no boundaries of language, religion, or cast. If it's a good script and a good director, I can do a film in Spanish as well.
Aditi Rao Hydari
Even in India the Hindi film industry might be the best known but there are movies made in other regional languages in India, be it Tamil or Bengali. Those experiences too are different from the ones in Bombay.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Instead of saying 'unique,' I will say 'Kattappava Kaanom' is a very special and lucky film for me because I got the chance to step into Hindi film industry when I was in the shoot of this movie.
Aishwarya Rajesh
I belong to the film industry and it's the only industry that has no corruption.
Akshaye Khanna
Hindi film industry's fortunes are directly connected to that of the world finance markets.
I didn't have any fixed goals when I joined the film industry. I don't particularly feel 'successful,' but I am grateful that my career is going well.
Alia Bhatt
Kollywood allots big budget only for commercial films. Bollywood film industry is straightforward that way. When compared to Bollywood, Kollywood is fake. They keep churning out the same films.
Amala Paul
I have a dirty mouth sometimes, and I'm very liberal, and that doesn't always go down well in the film industry - especially when you've got to appeal to mums and daughters.
Amanda Seyfried
It's rare to have even half-meaningful conversations in the film industry.
Amber Heard
The film industry is large enough and has many successful icons that have taken Indian cinema to shores beyond India. I think that Indian cinema itself needs to be applauded beyond one individual.
Amitabh Bachchan
As a creative agency, the film industry is thinking great subjects, presenting them wonderfully well, and giving opportunity to new faces each day.
Both my mom and dad were quite supportive. They never ever stopped me in realizing my dreams in the film industry.
Amrita Rao
I never had any Godfather nor superstar boyfriends to piggy ride upon in the film industry.
I feel satisfied with my journey in the film industry.
I have never been in a race where I would do anything to be here. That's a lethal mindset with which girls enter the film industry.
It's no exaggeration that nepotism exists in our film industry. Had I not been the daughter of Chunky Panday, it would not be that easy for me.
Janhvi Kapoor is my biggest competition in this film industry.
I feel the worst when people comment on my family because my younger sister and mum aren't part of the film industry.
There is no filmmaking legislation because distributors are not interested in sharing their money with the film industry - for instance, by giving a percentage of ticket sales back to filmmakers.
One might have thought that the most significant change in the film industry that would come about with a transition from the communist economy to capitalism would fundamentally concern the sources of funding.
The difficulty with the present state of affairs is that there is no legislation on the sources of funding for the Polish film industry. There is no legislation concerning filmmaking. And, there is no legislation on television that would be beneficial to filmmaking.
I would love to do better in mainstream Hindi films, but one thing I must say is that my best experience so far has been in the Punjabi film industry, where I've been around for more than 11 years.
What Joe and I love about the film industry, it's like the wild West. We're two guys who grew up a million miles away from the film business; it doesn't matter where you come from or where you go to school. All that matters is, can you find a way to practice the craft and express yourself in a way that people respond to.
Actors in the film industry are usually wary of expressing their opinions on the issues of the day, politics especially.
Every industry has got its distinct identity. The Malayalam film industry is right up there with some of the greatest content, artistes and technicians.
As a child, I had no idea that I would end up in the film industry. My ambitions changed from wanting to join the army like my grandfather to taking up merchant navy as a career to running for India, and finally, investment banking while I was a student of economics honour. But during my college days, I began to get offers for modelling.
No wonder the film industry started in the desert in California where, like all desert dwellers, they dream their buildings, rather than design them.
I feel blessed and lucky that some of the film industry's most magical and iconic songs where legendary composers and singers have collaborated have been filmed on me.
I have plenty of memories from my stint in the Kannada film industry.
There are many roles and I haven't had the opportunity to do any of them. I jokingly tell people 'Sometimes I wonder, is the film industry waiting for me to die and then say it's sad. He was a good actor. He was underrated and didn't have enough chances.'
Hindi film industry has not proved to be a viable alternative for me, hence, I shifted my focus towards South, where I have created a market for myself.
The film industry brings people together, and so does technology. I see them as similar platforms.
After I entered the film industry, I restricted my non-veg diet to fish and chicken. I can't, however, remain without non-veg food even for a single day.
Having done movies in Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi, I have been accepted both in North and down South. I don't believe in divisions. I like to believe that I am working in the Indian film industry.
Now that I am a part of the Hindi film industry, I hope I can do different roles with a lot of scope.
I am happy with my journey in the Indian film industry.
Kollywood is my parent film industry. It was here that I was born as an actress and grew as an artist.
I have never left the Tamil film industry and have always maintained that I'm open to good projects. I have not restricted myself to any one industry.
I have never accepted any random offers for the sake of being a regular face in the film industry.
I came into the film industry when I was 35 years old; I reckon it's a bit late to start with that.
I have no regrets for not having a solo career in Bollywood because when I joined the film industry I was 35 years old. Nobody gets solo leads when they start their career at this age.
I didn't go to film school. I got my education on the set as a niche publicist in the film industry.
Yes, I've been lucky to work with some of the biggest stars in the film industry, but I've worked hard and fans have loved my music.
I definitely want to have a career in the TV/film industry, as I love acting, but if it all goes to pot, I want to set up a performing arts school for children with special needs.
We live in a youth-obsessed, aesthetically obsessed culture. That is no more evident than in the film industry.
