There’s no doubt that ‘Lion’ is an audience pleaser. I mean, I went to a lot of research screenings all over, in London and America and Australia, and the results were ridiculous, and the crowds were… they just loved the movie, so for me, my job is done. Garth Davis Read Quote
I’m just trying to approach what I make with as much respect and research as I can, and just make it with a good heart. Garth Davis Read Quote
The way I work is I like to immerse myself in the world of the film and in the character’s lives, and then from that, I get a lot of ideas of how the film could be made, how it could be told. Garth Davis Read Quote
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! Garth Davis Read Quote
I love going to the cinema and thinking you’re seeing something, and you end up on a whole other planet, and you can’t believe it. Garth Davis Read Quote
I’ve always just focused on the work, and I’ve just tried to be honest with the work. If the work speaks to people, fantastic. Garth Davis Read Quote
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. Garth Davis Read Quote
Most of the available Indian films in Australia are Bollywood. I did not watch them. In my early days, I watched Satyajit Ray’s ‘Apu Trilogy,’ which was a beautiful take on social realism. Garth Davis Read Quote
