Success changes a lot of things and luckily each film of ours has always been a bigger success than the previous one. But it’s not always been great; we've also had long phases of not doing anything at all. We stuck together through thick and thin. This success for me is far more meaningful just because I get to share it with this team. I am today, what they believed me to be.

I would do anything to stay loved by them.”
