Most of the time I spent in America, I was having a love affair with some American or other. I was just passing through but stayed because of these chaps.

The status quo and the media is doing everything it can to fry children's brains and make them grow up maladjusted.

I remember becoming aware of women's issues and inequality. It became glaringly clear to me when I was living in America that women are regarded as less intelligent than men.

I think there has always been an obsession with youth and beauty. What's missing is the equal obsession with respect for…older people…and their wisdom and knowledge and courage.

I'd never been content in America

I'm not in the advertising business, but I think it would be very nice if people went to see the film Hamlet, because it was made with love and integrity
