Well getting behind the camera is something I've always wanted to get involved with. Ever since I was doing movies like 'Zathura' I was very interested in all the different jobs on set and kind of soaking all the information up like a sponge.

I definitely have found a balance. I've had so many offers in the past to do different movies or different things and I always choose tournaments over it.

Before I'd written movies I never could do big set-piece scenes with a lot of different speakers - when you've got twelve people around a dinner table talking at cross purposes. I had always been impressed by other people's ability to do that.

Movies are different from real life.

I didn't know what types of movies I wanted to do. I want to do things that are different. I want to take my time with each role.

The nature of the movies is different than it was five years ago and they're all driven by the possibilities of CGI which means you can make anything happen on screen that you can possibly desire.

Listen I think movies serve many different purposes from those movies that are frivolous and just an entertainment to movies that just go to exploring the complexities of the human soul. Everything is valid if it's done with honesty and dignity and I actually do both of those types of movies in my career.

I've done many different movies in many different contexts.

I work constantly but I work at a lot of different things. You know I run a theater company in New York I direct plays act in plays in movies so I try to keep it eclectic.

Movies were never an art form they were entertainment. It just evolved into an art form from there and it's still evolving in different ways.

I wouldn't like to be in movies. Movie people are strange. They live a different life than musicians do.

Everyone related to me in my circle was from church: church friends church school church activities. All my friends weren't allowed to watch MTV or go to PG-13 movies or listen to the radio so I didn't really know anything different. That's how I was raised.

Even in India the Hindi film industry might be the best known but there are movies made in other regional languages in India be it Tamil or Bengali. Those experiences too are different from the ones in Bombay.

I just like movies that somehow expose the world in a way that's different than you imagine it.

I was motivated to be different in part because I was different.

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.

Another thing that's quite different in writing a book as a practicing newspaperman is that if you look at what you've written the next morning and you think you didn't get it quite right you can fix it.

Before I go to bed at night I ice my face because it closes your pores and makes a difference in the morning.

In this respect early youth is exactly like old age it is a time of waiting for a big trip to an unknown destination. The chief difference is that youth waits for the morning limited and age waits for the night train.

What is different is I am giving the kids a chance to train every day. Not only once a day but sometimes when they do not have school we will try to do something in the morning too.

We had high and boisterous winds last night and this morning: the Indians continue to purchase repairs with grain of different kinds.

The reporting I did was mostly entertainment or lifestyle. I took a very different approach than most reporters. I approached it more casually than you would think a reporter would. Now I'm a morning radio personality and radio is really casual.

It really means a lot that I won the gold medal - but I woke up the next morning expecting to feel different. I felt the same.

It means a lot in my business and its a wonderful feeling to be recognized for what you have done over a lifetime but I didn't go crazy. I still eat my cereal in the morning have a sandwich in the afternoon go to bed at night. You know nothing really different.
