Reality is a question of perspective.

We are the storytelling animal.

Certainly, the Hollywood cinema, there's almost nothing of interest coming out of there.

I do think there was a period there when my sanity was under intense pressure, and I didn't know what to say or do or how to act. I was literally living from day to day.

I was very happy in Bombay. I was good at school. There was no reason to change anything. I suppose it must have been some spirit of adventure, of wanting to see the world.

I needed my stuff around me, and in that little cocoon I felt good, and I could work.

I don't like books that play to the gallery, but I've become more concerned with telling a story as clearly and engagingly as I can.
