I've done many different movies in many different contexts.

I work constantly but I work at a lot of different things. You know I run a theater company in New York I direct plays act in plays in movies so I try to keep it eclectic.

Movies were never an art form they were entertainment. It just evolved into an art form from there and it's still evolving in different ways.

I wouldn't like to be in movies. Movie people are strange. They live a different life than musicians do.

Everyone related to me in my circle was from church: church friends church school church activities. All my friends weren't allowed to watch MTV or go to PG-13 movies or listen to the radio so I didn't really know anything different. That's how I was raised.

Even in India the Hindi film industry might be the best known but there are movies made in other regional languages in India be it Tamil or Bengali. Those experiences too are different from the ones in Bombay.

I just like movies that somehow expose the world in a way that's different than you imagine it.

I was motivated to be different in part because I was different.

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.

Another thing that's quite different in writing a book as a practicing newspaperman is that if you look at what you've written the next morning and you think you didn't get it quite right you can fix it.
