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.

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 actually wanted to first direct and produce, but then I got this very cool opportunity to be in front of the camera once.

Definitely, I think I fulfill a very funny Indian stereotype because I love technology. It's something I've always been interested in.

I turn to my parents for support, but their lives and careers are different and mine is different, so I don't consult them regarding my career. I make my own choices.

Surplus money allows some people to exercise inordinate power over others: in the workplace; in politics; and above all in the capture, use and destruction of the planet's natural wealth.

I want to go my own way - to build my own career. To be known as Emre Can.

I'm hungry. Always have been, my whole career.
