People say, 'I failed out of college! My life is over!' Well, it's not over. It depends on what you do with it.
So much of memory comes from the beginning of our lives when we know the world for the first time with a kind of clarity.

Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans.
In the end, we are part of this region, and we are affected by its developments. What we may do or not do in the future depends on the nature of what happens here in the region.

You can work really hard on your physicality, on your craft, on the films you do.

My practice schedule is not constant and changes a lot and depends on my moods also.
I refused to be filmed getting off a bus twice. The director said, 'I'm an award-winning director. Please do it', and I said, 'I never thought I'd say this, but I'm an award-winning actress with a bad leg, and if your film depends on seeing me get in and out of a bus, we're in trouble.'

I'm not the guy who does slo-mo, or I'm not the guy who does splashing rain or doves flying or anything; that's not me.

Talent is a by-product of education; the quality of a country's human capital depends on it.

Proust writes, he remembers, physically. He depends on his body to give him the information that will bring him to the past. His book is called 'In Search of Lost Time,' and he does it through the senses. He does it through smell. He does it through feeling. He does it through texture. It is all physically driven, that language.
I am comfortable in all kinds of outfits. I prefer Indian wear, but there are days I step out in a short dress. It depends on my mood.
