Post 9/11, So Much Has Changed In

Americans Are Not Used To Being Bombed In Their Beds, But If You Come From Anywhere Outside America, It's Not Highly Unusual.

My Family Is Almost Exactly Like The One In 'monsoon Wedding'. We Are Very Open, Fairly Liberal, Loud People.

Humility Is Not A Trait I Often Associate With America.

It Gave Me A Lot Of Pleasure And Pride That 90 Percent Of The Crew For 'monsoon Wedding,' And Most Of My Film, Are Women. We Get The Work Done, You Know, Much Lesser Play Of Ego... And I Really Believe In Harmony, I Believe In Working In A Spirit Of Egolessness And That The Film Is Bigger Than All Of Us.

Truth Is More Peculiar Than Fiction. Life Is Really A Startling Place.
