The name of my ailment was longing, and it was not cured till I finally went to the department store and counted out the money in small coins before the dismayed clerk. When I came to the house, I held up the instrument before the eyes of the astonished household.

Saving was slow and painful.

Setting my mind on a musical instrument was like falling in love. All the world seemed bright and changed.

Life is like a trumpet - if you don't put anything into it, you don't get anything out of it.

I used to be an athlete and even ran the 400 metre stretch for Tamil Nadu. I have always been active.

I'm happy pretty well anywhere on this big, beautiful planet.

I constantly work with material that could be two years old, five years old, ten years old, as well as new things.

Well, I'm about to do another western, a pilot for HBO this fall.
