I try to address my audiences intelligently. The man in the street counts, but sometimes he forgets that he counts.

The history of the white man in India really jumped up and bit me in the neck.

I like DVDs so much - it's such a better format than VHS.

Sitting down to a meal with an Indian family is different from sitting down to a meal with a British family.

Good directing is about getting the performance to be just what's right for the movie.

I cannot forget a conversation that I had with an elderly couple from the tribe. They asked me whether I would kill them after I had finished. When I asked them why they asked that, they replied, Because you white men always do!

I think that will be a lot of fun for audiences to get the same stream of consciousness that was going through my head at the time. It was very exciting to suddenly recall what I was feeling at the time.
