“You must be interested in people if you want stories. Shakespeare lived before Marx, but he wrote working class stories. The Panchatantra was all about the triumph of good over evil and the desire to live. Stories are going to come back. Look at (Steven) Spielberg’s last four films. The spotlight will return to the actor,” - He told to The Hindu.[1]
