My whole life has been movies and religion. That's it. Nothing else.

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.

The next thing I knew I was out of the service and making movies again. My first picture was called GI Blues. I thought I was still in the army.

Later on they send me to Hollywood. To make movies. It was all new to me. I was only 21 years old.

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 think there's a real joy in going to see movies when you discover them yourself.

Movies are very subjective.

I'm used to watching old movies of myself.

I'd maybe done about 12 movies when I decided that this was what I was going to do.

Movies are like magic tricks.
