My big thesis is that although the world looks messy and chaotic, if you translate it into the world of numbers and shapes, patterns emerge and you start to understand why things are the way they are.

Mathematics is a place where you can do things which you can't do in the real world.

The point is with good maths skills you have just wonderful opportunities and if you don't have good maths skills, there are just so many things that you won't be able to do.

I believe in glamour. I am in favor of a little vanity. I don't rely on just my genes.

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

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.
