My movement from painting to film was a very conscious one.

Cinema has the capacity to be so physiological.

You never think the universe will reward your first choice - it just doesn't work like that.

You don't work on something for six years and be blind to the myriad of other approaches.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I love Hindi films.
