I think it's kind of nice, in this day and age of instant gratification, that you have to wait for something.

What royal families are very good at doing is surviving and reinventing themselves. That's true whether it's a constitutional monarchy in Britain or an authoritarian monarchy.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
