Here's the youtube clip by itself.
EDIT: for those of you who can't or really don't want to see the clip (like myself), here's the exchange under an lj cut and whited out font for potential triggers. There's some transcripts here as well (again, trigger warning, not just for the transcript but also for other comments in the post overall).
REPORTER: You had a very strong start of your career with the 6th Sense. Your movies have been very personal. However, the audience has lost its faith in your work with Lady in the Water and many of your more recent productions. Airbender feels like you want to captivate the audiences again by becoming more commercial, am I right?
SHYAMALAN: I think if I thought like you I'd kill myself. (Jackson and a few others laugh and applaud) Everything you said is the opposite of my instinct as an artist. The way you just thought, literally I'd kill myself.
