- Miksei Bollywood-hiteistä tule suuren yleisön hittejä? – monia hyviä ajatuksia, mm. This need for inclusivity means that a typical Bollywood film is a romance, comedy, family saga and action movie rolled into one. That, Shridhar acknowledges, gives westerners the impression that they are "loosely written, meandering and don't make sense". But Indians are instinctively forgiving. "People will watch a film and know that the next 15 minutes isn't going to be for them. It might be a dance sequence, or a 'hand of God' scene that's for the grandma sat next to them. Bollywood films are more like a live circus or a variety show than a western three-act concept of a movie."

- Composer Carter Burwell on his creative process and his favorite scores – These songs were in the script, and that was basically what I had to go on at first.

- Minkä takia tuleva Robin Hood -leffa on täysin erilainen kuin käsis, josta kaikki ensin innostuivat? – The original script had enormous appeal because it had what Hollywood craves–a great part for a big movie star. But it wasn't exactly the kind of character Scott imagined for his vision of Sherwood Forest.
