I had to let go of many things because we did not have much money growing up. Like joining the Film Institute in Pune or learning the piano.

I've always been told that because of 'Main Hoon Na,' a lot of female filmmakers have come up but I maintain that direction is a ‘genderless' job."

For me feminism is equality.

It is really a sad state of affairs if I am still the only commercially successful woman director. We need a lot more commercially viable women, not only in direction.

We want to be inclusive. We want to have our shareholders, our employees, our customers, whether they are Democrat, Republican, Green or Libertarian, to feel comfortable with how we're doing business. And so that tends to be apolitical. People say, 'No, no, I just simply shouldn't get involved in politics.'

Pakistan is rich in sporting talent, but the only thing needed is to have sincere and honest administrators who should be held accountable by the government. Pakistan should be recognised as a sporting nation and not as a terrorist country.

The backlash against Big Government is an encouraging sign of a growing resistance to the mission creep of federal power.

Washington is paralyzed by extreme political rhetoric that creates powerful sound bites but poor policy.
