Through movies, I have met nearly everyone I have wanted to, except Woody Allen.

If you get validation from outside, then suddenly everything you do at home is justified.

All those pseudo-Hollywood movies set nowhere, with everybody good looking and having great physique - that's not working any more.

I am a straight talker. I am not politically correct or diplomatic.

It was only in the early 1990s - during my student years as an aspiring scientist at Delhi University - that I discovered the world of cinema.

I didn't ask anyone to make me a poster boy, because poster boys always end up on dart boards.

I guess short films have a bright future... The advantage is budget.
