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

Truth is more peculiar than fiction. Life is really a startling place.

In our house we say 'adolescence' is a western word. We don't believe in it.

Every film is a political act; it's how you see the world.

What is really important to me is a sense of humour and a mischief about life. Life is just too boring otherwise.

Americans are not used to being bombed in their beds, but if you come from anywhere outside America, it's not highly unusual.

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.
