A lot of the younger Indian generation are either IT geniuses or doctors - the number of doctors I've seen in L.A. who are Indian is just crazy. So it is a very common thing. Or an accountant! That again is a very, very big thing.

In L.A. you hear all these stories of people being filmed in their own homes through their windows. I think that is so scary.

When we know that educating a girl can change the world, why wait?

More than anything else, if you can spend a great deal of dedicated time observing people without judgment, that can be a great way of learning.

I wouldn't want to do a Bollywood film per se, but I would like to do an Indian-language film. For some reason I think Bollywood has become synonymous with commercial cinema, which is song and dance and everything that is larger than life, and I am interested in the reality.

I'm glad I'm a strong person.

I definitely need to date someone who is calm.
