Never Take No For Answer, And Try

I Am Still Attracted To Stories About People Who Are Considered To Be On The Outside Of Society. I Still Seek Inspiration From Those Stories.

We Have Three Generations At Home, Including My Father-in-law. I Keep A Very Low Profile, And A Lot Of Things I Do Are Very Much With The Family In Mind. I Have Actually Made Films With The Family Around Me.

They Say Now In America That Final Cut Doesn't Mean Anything. As Harvey Weinstein Said To Some Film-maker, 'you Can Have Final Cut. I'll Open Your Film In Arkansas.'

My Family Is Almost Exactly Like The One In 'monsoon Wedding'. We Are Very Open, Fairly Liberal, Loud People.

I Am An Independent Film-maker First And Foremost. I Have Always Cut My Own Cloth.
