I think all kids are rebellious. It's a part of growing up.

If you had a fabricated story coming out every two weeks or every month, it would affect you. You would be like, 'What's the problem with people?' or 'Why can't they let me be?' And that's the thought that comes into anyone's mind.

Definitely, I feel that there is a need for more female producers, directors, and writers.

If you are a doctor or farmer, be sincere about your profession. If you can do what you do honestly, you will end up serving your country.

So here is one of my theories on happiness: we cannot know if we have lived a truly happy life until the very end. This view of life and death was reinforced by my close witnessing of the buildup to the death of Philip Gould. Philip was without doubt my closest friend in politics. When he died, I felt like I had lost a limb.

To die in battle would be my greatest joy.

If you are paying attention, then the day is going to be pretty joyful, and a lot of delight will fill it.

If you laugh, we just do another take. Laughter is too rare nowadays. If you can bust a gut, let it go, and we'll just go back to one.
