Zitat des Tages von Manish Dayal:
In an Indian kitchen, the focus is on getting the job or dish done right in whatever way possible; however, in a French kitchen there's a clear hierarchy, and a chef has to know where their skills are and not go beyond them.
I remember once being told by a casting person, years ago, that I shouldn't pursue a career in the business because of the color of my skin. The fact that I remember it today means it stuck with me. I thought that was really stupid advice and advice nobody should ever give someone.
I don't know about the whole song-and-dance thing. But if India will have me, the independent cinema scene there is something I'm really interested in.
One really interesting thing for me was learning about kitchen etiquette, and the differences between an Indian kitchen and a French one. They're different in atmosphere, and also in how chefs maneuver within them.
I studied business and also studied film, then I graduated, and I worked at a network. I was able to use my business skills there - I was an associate producer for a little bit.
Definitely, I think I fulfill a very funny Indian stereotype because I love technology. It's something I've always been interested in.
I actually wanted to first direct and produce, but then I got this very cool opportunity to be in front of the camera once.
I think I've always been somebody to break rules.
Steven Spielberg was my idol growing up. I knew that all of his movies have a very specific message and point of view, and the always are really epic.
I didn't act in school. I didn't study acting, either. I learned everything when I got to New York.
