I Want To Question What The Outside

You've Got To Understand That In Bollywood, Every Actor Is An Instrument, And Yet A Human Being. They Come To The Set With A Set Agenda, Believing, 'this Is Who I Am, This Is What I Want, And No, I Am Not Going To Become That Character You Want Me To.'

Creative Freedom Is An Imperative For Me, But It Doesn't Really Exist In A Hollywood Game.

I Am An Independent Film-maker First And Foremost. I Have Always Cut My Own Cloth.

I've Loved 'vanity Fair' Since I Was 16 Years Old. You Know, We're All Colonial Hangovers In India, Steeped In English Literature. It Is One Of These Novels That I Read Under The Covers At My Convent Boarding School In Simla.

Never Take No For Answer, And Try To Make Films That Turn You On.
