When to speak, when to be silent. #SalimKhan #DirectorsDiaries

I once asked screenwriter Salim Khan to define a film director;

Salim Khan replied: ‘Frank Capra made a film after a gap of nearly five years. He was asked, “Why took you so long to make your new film?” Capra replied: “I did not have anything to say, until now!” On the other hand, a journalist complimented an outstanding prime minister of a country, “Sir, you speak well; and you really know what to say!” The prime minister replied, “It’s more important to know when to be or remain silent.” For me, both define a director.’
