Post 9/11, So Much Has Changed In

Making Films Is About Having Absolute And Foolish Confidence; The Challenge For All Of Us Is To Have The Heart Of A Poet And The Skin Of An Elephant.

I Am An Independent Film-maker First And Foremost. I Have Always Cut My Own Cloth.

We Have Three Generations At Home, Including My Father-in-law. I Keep A Very Low Profile, And A Lot Of Things I Do Are Very Much With The Family In Mind. I Have Actually Made Films With The Family Around Me.

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.

'salaam Bombay' Didn't Put A Halo On The Poor. Instead, It Said That They Will Teach Us How To Live.
