Humility Is Not A Trait

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.

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

My Family Is Almost Exactly Like The One In 'monsoon Wedding'. We Are Very Open, Fairly Liberal, Loud People.

Never Take No For Answer, And Try To Make Films That Turn You On.

I Look For The Humanity In People, However Big The Politics Or Oppressive The Situation May Be, Whether It's Subsumed Within A Human Being Or Between Two Human Beings. I Want To Help Us Hold A Mirror To Ourselves.
