The joy of taking out...
I also naturally mean recycling and composting. I try to do both. In fact, I once carried a takeout container across half the city just to put it in the right bin. Where's my inspiring biopic? But then I learned recycling frequently isn't working.

Quote examples
Arbaaz Khan
Indian Actor
Generally, the biopics are made on the personalities about whom much is not known. But if someone who is already popular and everyone knows about his life then I don't see a point in making a biopic on his life unless you are telling something new about that person.
Quote examples
Paresh Rawal
Indian Actor
Why would any one make a biopic on me? I would have lived my life a certain way, had I known that a biopic will be made on it in future. I agree, every person's life has enough drama to be translated into a movie but I can't say the same about myself.
Quote examples
Rajkummar Rao
Indian Actor
It is not that I am only looking at doing biopics. But of course, as an actor, I always love portraying real-life characters because there is so much challenge involved in recreating somebody's life.
Quote examples
Ruskin Bond
Indian Author
I wouldn't want a film to be made on my life, because I suppose I would only want them to show all the good things about me and hide the awful things, and that wouldn't be a very honest biopic, no?
Quote examples
Celine Sciamma
I wanted to talk about women artists but I wanted to depart from the biopic dynamic, that trope where a strong woman succeeds in a very oppressive world. This idea that 'it can happen if you want.
Quote examples
Dustin Lance Black
American Director
I love the true life stories and the biopics - people say I'm pigeonholed, but it's a fantastic kind of pigeonhole - but it's tough to then go and direct it because I know all the real people.
Quote examples
Rajkumar Hirani
Indian Director
Most biopics are stories of people who achieve something. It's an easier graph, a rags-to-riches story, or wanting something and reaching that. Sanju's life is not actually a case like that.
Quote examples
Chadwick Boseman
American Actor
People have said, 'You don't need to do any more biopics. You don't need to play any more real people.' I don't agree with that.
Quote examples
Bill Condon
American Director
I really think the biopic thing so rarely works, because people's lives don't have a dramatic shape that can be satisfying.

Nepalese Actress
I am looking to play powerful characters and as far as biopics are concerned.
