To me, my mother is very beautiful and the epitome of a woman. She knows how to balance a busy professional life with family life.

Three components - education, equality and empowerment - play an important and pivotal role in moving the country forward in every aspect.

I strongly feel about women's rights because I have been working for menstrual hygiene across India.

Women are equal to men.

Well, I actually grew up in the sixties. I feel very lucky, actually, that that was my slice of time that I was dealt. Let's remember that the real motivation in the sixties, and even in the fifties, was the Cold War.

I wanted to write plays. I was at Yale graduate school at the time for English literature, not for acting... I liked the idea of collaboration, and I thought if I'm gonna write plays, I should learn something about speaking the lines that I might try to write.

Education is a basic necessity.

I've noticed that my resolutions involve me not doing stuff that I wasn't going to do anyway so here's something more positive. I'm going to retrain as a Latin teacher in a provincial public school.
