The miniatures of the Mughal period are really the pinnacle of Indian artistic achievement. And not a single one of those paintings is done by an individual artist.

When I got to Florida, I was a British kid, but I was also an Indian kid: a brown kid with an English accent. Talk about being an outsider. And that's become the theme of a lot of the stuff I write about.

I've never yet managed to write a novel which didn't have an Indian central character.

I love to complement my Indian ensembles with neckpieces and earrings and cuffs.

I want to see more Asian. I want to see more Latin. I want more Indian. There's more than Mindy Kaling out there, guys! There's more than Bai Ling.

I'm human. As human as any Indian. And every Pakistani is as human as every Indian.

I am an Indian, so I do yoga.

It makes me even happier that as a team, T-Series is taking rapid strides at making Indian entertainment available to the global audience.

I was an Indian with zero sense of caste till I was 20. That's an unusual privilege but it came out of the fact that I was a middle-class Bengali.

There's not enough black films out there. There's not enough Latin films, or films that have an Asian, Indian or Middle Eastern lead. The list goes on and on.

I knew what my scripts would say before I opened them: 'Enter Conchita.' I played handmaidens, Indian squaws, and Mexican dancers.

I am very much of an Indian by heart.

I enjoy Indian cuisine a lot. It's delicious.

Being from a middle-class Indian family, I learned Carnatic music.

I can look Punjabi, South Indian, gareeb and ameer too.

Indian classical dance is sustained by a profound philosophy. Form seeks to merge with the formless, motions seek to become a part of the motionless, and the dancing individual seeks to become one with the eternal dance of the cosmos.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the undisputed leader of the Indian cricket team.

First, take the government of the Indians out of politics; second, let the laws of the Indians be the same as those of the whites; third, give the Indian the ballot.

Language is not a barrier, specially Hindi. It is the only language I read, write and speak in and so it is far easier than South Indian languages.

I do films because there is an audience out there. It doesn't matter if they're Indian, American, or European.
