My Films, No One Else

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

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.

They Say Now In America That Final Cut Doesn't Mean Anything. As Harvey Weinstein Said To Some Film-maker, 'you Can Have Final Cut. I'll Open Your Film In Arkansas.'

Creative Freedom Is An Imperative For Me, But It Doesn't Really Exist In A Hollywood Game.

It Took Me Three Years To Learn To Dress In The American Way, Especially In Winter. That Was Just Like Me. I Barely Wear Socks Even Now.
