“Culture, as Indian people understood it, was basically a lifestyle byÂ which a people acted. It was self-expression, but not a consciousÂ self-expression. Rather, it was an expression of the essence of a people.”

“I turned down all the requests for the rights to the books, for years, mostly because they wanted the rights to the characters, and to turn it into a TV series. This would have allowed them to do anything they wanted with the characters, and that just wasn't an option for me.”
