"My technicians are my most important tools. Once I establish a rapport with them, then they would understand me in my next film. I wouldn't have to train anyone new. I give a lot of respect to all my technicians, because I'm a technician too. I wouldn't be able to convey a feeling if the writer didn't write it well, and the cameraman didn't shoot it well."
"I was in Lahore before the partition, so I don't believe that a border can truly separate Punjab. I still think of it as one."
"There are only two types of cinema - good or bad."
"I don't make romantic films. I make films about human relationships."
"When I was in college, my brother, B.R. Chopra, who is everything to me, was a director in Bombay. He taught me filmmaking. What I am today is because of him."
