Ram Gopal Varma Question And Answers #83
821. How many women have you
slept with till date?
Ans: You will die of jealousy if I tell you.
822. What is the factor
which so constantly drives you to make movies?
Ans: It’s my insatiable desire to constantly occupy the mind-space of
others.
823. You might not be a
criminal, but I think you too want the world to revolve around you.
Ans: Of course yes and I pretty much make it revolve. I am not an
anti-social in practice but I am an anti-social in theory which can be much
more dangerous not only to others but even to myself. But I love to confront
danger as it makes me feel alive.
P.S: Shalini, if you promise not to tell anybody I will tell you a secret.
I am not an anti-social in practice because I am too scared of the law and I
love life too much and also deep inside I think that I am quite a nice guy.
824. Before reading
Nietzsche, Rand and others, were you this strong willed?
Ans: That’s an interesting question. Many of my close people say that only
because I was strong willed that I understood those books in the first place.
Their argument is that many would have read those books, but were not affected.
“Man has no ears for what experience has not taught him already. If he
agrees he knows it already.” – Friedrich Nietzsche.
825. Can there be ill
effects of having too much will power?
Ans: The point of will power is to have the will to take decisions on your
life. But yes, life will take other decisions on your decisions. So you have to
counter life’s decisions by taking decisions on its decisions and thus the
circle continues. So as long as I keep on continuously taking decisions
irrespective of their consequences it’s inevitable that I will always be on top
of life. It’s the day that you stop taking decisions which is when life will
come on top of you and crush you under its feet.
826. Why were your assistants
not as successful as you are?
Ans: I will tell you that the day I come to know why I myself was
successful in the first place.
827. How did you
characterize Kay Kay for Vishnu’s role in Sarkar?
Ans: Compared to the novel I always felt that Sonny Corleone’s role was not
as intensely portrayed by James Caan the way it was in the book. So I took a
cue from a line from the novel.
“From 1935 to 1937, the name of Santino Corleone sent shockwaves through
the underworld”.
Vishnu matches the intensity of this above line.
828. What is the definition
of a weirdo?
Ans: One who is different and does not conform to any standards and dares
to be alone.
“For them lonesomeness is the plight of sick one. For me it’s the flight
from the sick ones.”- Friedrich Nietzsche.
829. Which work of Ayn Rand
do you like the most?
Ans: It’s not her works, but it is her thoughts which I connect to, which
could be both in her fiction and non-fiction writings. Likewise I connect to a
lot of thoughts in Mad magazine too. I think humourists are the greatest
philosophers in the world.
830. Is it because you go by
your decisions without bothering about consequences that you made so many
flops?
Ans: Yes and my hits too happened because of the same.
