I've had very little sex. I like my Scotch, but I've never been drunk.

I don't want to be cremated, I want to be buried. I don't believe in wasting wood and I feel that one should give back to the earth.

I was unhappy with the jobs I did after law. I got into the diplomatic service. There again I had really little to do.

I did subscribe to the freedom movement and I was much closer to the Congress than to the Akali party. It is a communal party.

Freedom is for the educated people who fought for it. We were slaves of the English, now we will be slaves of the educated Indians—or the Pakistanis.

I admit I have no forgiveness. If anyone is ever rude to me, however much they may try to make up, I can't bring myself to re-establish the old [connection]. And when they drop me, I have a sense of relief.

I am prolific. Any rubbish I write gets published, so books keep churning out.
