I'm one of the writers that would die if I didn't say what I needed to say. For me, it's a matter of survival to write.
I was always writing for myself. I wrote what I needed to write and hear - that's what makes it powerful.
But for me, really, the written word is always stronger than film.
I've always loved opera; it never occurred to me that I would write a proper libretto.
Once in a while, when I first started to write pieces, I would try to write to a reader other than myself. I always failed. I would freeze up.
I used to object to being called an Indian writer, and would always say I was a writer who happened to be an Indian, and who happened to write about Indians.
Whenever I read the newspaper, I say to myself, 'At least my wife loves me.'
I would always get a lot of work as a writer, but that wasn't what I wanted to be. For me, I was only doing half of what I really wanted to do - write and direct.
People write me letters and say I should answer them. But I don't like to answer letters. I don't write letters. I've never written my mother one.
