I don't only write about English literature; I also write about chaos theory and... ants. I can understand ants.
I don't understand why, in my work, writing is always so dangerous. It's very destructive. People who write books are destroyers.
It's because I'm a feminist that I can't stand women limiting other women's imaginations. It really makes me angry.
You can understand a lot about yourself by working out which fairytale you use to present your world to yourself in.
I understand that I'm able to connect with people; I have an emotional bonding with people. My strength lies in my ability to tell stories and to touch people's hearts and to move them.
As an actor, the best way I can hope to promote greater social understanding is through my work. If I can communicate with people and touch their hearts through 'Dangal,' perhaps, eventually, I can help change their minds.
When I prepare for a role, I try to get inside the character's head and understand him.
I don't see myself as an activist. I understand that people, with me doing 'Satyameva Jayate,' for example, they will feel that I'm being an activist, but I'm not. Actually, I'm not, because I think an activist, as I see it, as a person who is very, very - takes up one issue and remains with that one issue for his entire life. I'm not doing that.
I'm content to stand on tradition. I'm even more content to wipe my feet on it.
When you're working with someone new, it takes a second to understand their instincts and range. It's not really conscious.
