M. Night Shymalan to Reporter: If I Thought Like You I'd Kill Myself

M. Night Shymalan didn’t hold back when he addressed a reporter in Mexico City at a Last Airbender press conference earlier this week.

After the reporter asked if Night felt like he was trying to win his audience back after they’d lost faith in his work, he retorted, “I think if I thought like you I’d kill myself.”

“Everything you said is the opposite of my instinct as an artist,” Night added. “The way you just thought, I literally would kill myself.”

The 39-year-old director, who cited massive success in France, Spain and Japan, continued, “I’ve literally turned down more money in my life to do things because I just don’t believe in it.”
