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

The urge to purge the material I come up with is, I guess, an ongoing process.

What's most galvanizing for me is the opportunity to be topical and relevant and entertaining. That's the holy grail.

I love Hindi films.

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.

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