I kind of feel like every time I do a film, it is me and an entire male ensemble cast.
Stalin, Lenin, Marx, Mao, Pol Pot, Antifa, Castro, Che Guevara and the like use power to reduce the sanctity of the individual for the common good of the collective. It is a kind of enslavement that degrades the human spirit and makes us poorer over time.
I met a number of young, striving, enterprising people in cities like Aligarh and Hubli. But the mental landscape of these towns is out of sync with their reality. Many of these towns are hellholes.

Getting your writing criticized can be a lot like getting skinned, and you respond to it just as enthusiastically.
I joke that a person of color would never make a movie like 'Midnight in Paris.' Nostalgia isn't so enticing.
My entire career, in fiction or nonfiction, I have reported and written about people who are not like me.
