"RITWIK GHATAK - a contemporary quality filmmaker of times of SATYAJIT RAY CINEMA who happened to be our vice principal of FTII - Film Institute of India in 1963, who changed my whole perception of Indian cinema and gave me a new perspective to the art and craft of cinema in your own narrative whatever it may be.

"PRESENTING TOP CHART SONGS IN JAI MALA RADIO PROGRAM ON THE DAY OF RELEASE OF MY MUSICAL KARZ - on 27 June 1980 and getting nervous if my songs will reach their heights after the release of my film.

"HE WAS BORN LIKE A KID AND GONE LIKE A KID—be it personal, professional, or private. He became a great screen actor only because he would react to every scene or situation in life like a kid. He always remained CHINTU rather than RISHI KAPOOR. I’m sure his wife NEETU SINGH would agree, because only she could handle him all the times. CHINTU is very special to me always. As he must have done 100 plus films, the KARZ GUITAR TUNE keeps him at the top always, with his mesmerizing smile even with ZEN G. Today, September 4th: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHINTU. We all miss you. Keep smiling. Lots of love always." - Subhash Ghai
"A FILM DIRECTOR HAS TO UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPT, CHARACTERS, AND MUSIC OF HIS FILM BEYOND IT IS GIVEN TO YOU. Then he brings out the details behind the obvious in a scene or song and makes his film everlasting. That’s where the director stands as an author, and the film works in a big way in any era—whether it’s Khalnayak or Taal for me." - Subhash Ghai
"NOTHING LIKE BEING A WRITER IN LIFE. As you can understand life from various perspectives—of a child, a woman, a man of all ages, a saint, and an evil person equally—and experience them emotionally while writing them. You don’t belong to your individual perspective anymore at that time. It’s one of the most creative satisfactions and a great meditation by itself. So, I suggest you must write a line or two on your page every day. Right or wrong—does not matter. You will feel better; you will feel in love within somehow." - Subhash Ghai
"ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS FASCINATING, BUT NEVER FORGET THAT IT HAS BEEN DESIGNED BY HUMAN INTELLIGENCE ONLY. It’s a big supporting tool to widen your knowledge and creativity, but only to widen—not for enlightenment. Please note, you still need human intelligence, wisdom, and soul." - Subhash Ghai
