blush mozart notes somehow suggest trying
When you get up, the night and day is a contradiction. But you get up at 4 A.M. That first blush of blue is where the night and day are trying to find harmony with each other. Harmony is the notes that Mozart didn't give you, but somehow the contradiction of his notes suggest that. All contradictions of his notes suggest the harmony.
night blue trying
When you get up, the night and day is a contradiction. But you get up at 4 a.m. — that first blush of blue is where the night and day are trying to find harmony with each other.
heart dark trying
Cosmetic companies are trying to turn India into a nation of Albinos. No dark area on any part of the body. Except maybe our hearts. Got a cream for that?
courage huge politics wish
I have a huge political interest. I just wish I had the courage to come into politics in India.
Heath Ledger is someone I know and would like to do a film with.
fought kept
It is interesting that Nehru fought and kept saying that if you break India into languages, there is no end to it.
India was formed on the idea 'Let's get the British out.'
courage people politics takes
I admire people who come to politics because it takes a lot of courage to be in politics in India.
It is awkward to see a director on the screen.
anywhere
There is more racial prejudice in India than anywhere else in the world.

The question is - did Richard Attenborough have a right to make 'Gandhi?' And did Danny Boyle have a right to make 'Slumdog Millionaire?' Quite honestly, if they didn't have the right to make these films, I had no right to make 'Elizabeth.'
fall illusion knowing life love whom
Not knowing whom to fall in love with is like not knowing which film to make next. Life is pretty chaotic; it's just an illusion that one has control over one's life.
build expected good indian indians people
It was expected of all good middle-class Indian people to build India and, as you know, Indians - when we say, 'build India,' it was all about being an accountant, a lawyer, an engineer. So it was this idea that professionals would build the country.
goes
I'm not sure who I am. That's why I keep saying I'm an adventurer that goes out.
