I was inspired by all of it. ‘The Avengers,’ ‘Harry Palmer,’ ‘The Prisoner,’ ‘The Man from UNCLE,’ ‘In Like Flint.’ Of course, there’s a huge shadow of Bond – Bond is the monolith of spy movies – but it’s not just about Bond; there were a lot of other things that influenced me.

I think I probably got a lot of my father’s natural security or ego or whatever. I can be my own person and not have to live under his shadow.

The short story is very good at looking at shadow psychologies and how the system breaks down underneath.
If I could sum up ‘Shadow’s Claim’ in six words: cage fights with hot alpha males. Seriously, though, while the fights are the backdrop for Trehan and Bettina’s love story, the main emphasis is on how Trehan – a pitiless master assassin – wages the ultimate battle to win her heart.

Both liquid and pencil eyeliner can be used on the top and bottom eyes. I then use eye shadow over the pencil to blend evenly to ensure there’s no skipping and patchiness.

Probably the one Bible passage that is read by Jews and Roman Catholics, Protestants, Islam, more than any other chapter is Psalm 23. And in Psalm 23 there is a verse that says, ‘Surely, yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.’

My children, as long as you live, the shadow of the Hiss Case will brush you. In every pair of eyes that rests on you, you will see pass, like a cloud passing behind a woods in winter, the memory of your father – dissembled in friendly eyes, lurking in unfriendly eyes.
Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.

I think it’s the actor’s job – when you think of being typecast or getting out of the shadow of whatever you’ve had success in – it’s up to you as an actor.

In my opinion, with political and religious views, how can you 110 percent, full-hearted say without a shadow of a doubt say that this is how I feel, and this is where I want to be in my life, if you haven’t looked at it any other way than just one angle?

My dad had a Vincent Black Shadow, which was a quite particular thing: it was the fastest cycle of its era… It sparked a world for me; when I was old enough, I got a motorcycle.
Color is a big part of what I do. It’s like music. There are only so many notes in the scale, but there are endless permutations; there’s no limit to the number. Color on the walls or furniture can reflect back and distort the reality of the true colors of lipsticks and eye shadow.

I look at some of my early stuff – back when I was 12 or 13 years old – and I was already doing cross-hatching back then. I don’t know where I picked that up. I think I was in a hurry, and I wanted to shade something really fast, and I tried cross-hatching a shadow.
Every once in a while, a book so possesses me that I happily give up a couple of consecutive nights of sleep – as well as the evening news broadcasts and latenight talk shows – to finish it. That’s what happened when I opened the novel ‘Shadow Tag’ by Louise Erdrich.

In ‘Jonaki,’ it isn’t about the individual actor. The actor is as important as the wall, or the water flowing down the wall, or a shadow. That kind of acting is also fascinating to me, not to be invisible necessarily, but to be in perfect synchronicity with the environment.
