Indian cinema seems to be growing very well at its own pace.

Happiness is overrated. There has to be conflict in life.

I have this fantasy of my older days, painting or sculpting or making things. I have this fantasy of a bike trip to Chile. I have this fantasy of flying into Morocco. But right now, it's about getting the work done and getting home to family. I have an adventure every morning, getting up.

I always liked those moments of epiphany, when you have the next destination.

One always goes back to one's childhood in the beginning, and I come from a very religious family and surrounding. Very religious.

For me, anytime I see a mother truly loving her child, famous or not, it brings a smile to my face. I think most people would agree.

My parents got married late and they had kids late, so I never felt a social or cultural thing to be married or pregnant or a homeowner by a certain age.

There's a rich family culture in South Central. The block that I grew up on, all the kids were best friends. They hung out at each other's houses. I can knock on the person's house two doors down and grab some food and just hang out or go into the backyard and play basketball when they're not there.
