We must use time creatively.
It's very easy for me to say what success is. I think success is connecting with an audience who understands you and having a dialogue with them. I think success is continuing to push yourself forward creatively and not sort of becoming a caricature of yourself.
If you're not adapting to the very rapidly changing environment if you can't think creatively you lose big in this society because there are very few jobs for you left.
I would be sad if it ended now. It's been the best job I've had by a long shot especially creatively because the writing is so good. Every week I get the script and I laugh out loud and get excited for the different stuff we get to do.
Creatively I thought we were still viable and could do more records. But our working relationship just wasn't happening at all and our chemistry as people broke down because of that.

I try not to put anything political on the forefront of what I'm trying to do creatively. At the same time I do think it's wonderful when I hear people say that it's inspirational that I'm an Indian woman on camera. My life is very diverse and my friends are a diverse group of people.
The public has an appetite for anything about imagination - anything that is as far away from reality as is creatively possible.
The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death in some hidden mysterious realm on the contrary it can be found by eating the succulent fruit of the Tree of Life and by living in the here and now as fully and creatively as we can.
