I want to do stories that really move me, that have an audience, and at the end of the day, I want people to feel something when they walk out of the cinema.

I always want to work on things that really scare me and interest me at the same time, and you know, I definitely had some projects in the past that did that, but the stars never aligned in getting them up. So 'Lion' was another project that really interested me, and the stars did align on this one. It just happened to be my first film!

Audiences are smart, and they don't need to be spoon-fed everything.
