My Films, No One Else Will Do.

I Always Like To Reveal The Fact That The Emperor Has No Clothes. And Children Are Best At That. They Teach Us How To See The World In That Sense. They Are Without Artifice; They See It For What It Is. I Am Drawn To That Ruthless Honesty.

Never Treat Anything You Do As A Stepping Stone. Do It Fully, And Follow It Completely.

I Grew Up In A Small Town In India, But Through Books I Knew The World.

It Gave Me A Lot Of Pleasure And Pride That 90 Percent Of The Crew For 'monsoon Wedding,' And Most Of My Film, Are Women. We Get The Work Done, You Know, Much Lesser Play Of Ego... And I Really Believe In Harmony, I Believe In Working In A Spirit Of Egolessness And That The Film Is Bigger Than All Of Us.
