Humility is not a trait I often associate with America.

Creative freedom is an imperative for me, but it doesn't really exist in a Hollywood game.

We have three generations at home, including my father-in-law. I keep a very low profile, and a lot of things I do are very much with the family in mind. I have actually made films with the family around me.

Marriage of attraction is a gamble anyway, so you might as well marry into a family that is similar to your own, and make that much less of an adjustment. But the 'love marriage', as it is called, is equally common in India now. But it would be interesting to do a comparison of what would work better. Marriage is hard work, and it is a gamble.

Bollywood actors are so set in what they want, and the way they want it. And why shouldn't they be? But it is not the same in Hollywood, because the love of the audience is not the same.

We all know the power of film; we all know there's almost nothing more powerful than to see people on film that look and talk like you, like we do.

It took me three years to learn to dress in the American way, especially in winter. That was just like me. I barely wear socks even now.
