I've portrayed cops as heroes for far too long, I think.

And I'm not homophobic.

In everybody's life, there is love, there is sorrow, there is melancholy. And there might be danger as well.

The initial response to 'Yennai Arindhaal' was that it didn't have all the quintessential commercial elements, though I consider it as my most commercial venture.

Ranbir was my first choice for 'Ek Deewana Tha.' I tried to get in touch in with. Forget about meeting Ranbir. I couldn't even meet his secretary. Yes, even the secretary refused to meet me.

The music I listen, the book I read, and the people I meet; these are some things that keeps me going.

If I am going to be afraid of the criticisms that my films get, I am never going to make films.

Nayakan,' 'Sathya' and 'Thevar Magan' are my biggest influences.

I write my scripts on a whim, without worrying about plot points and graphs.

I like to show love in a way that will bring a smile or a tear to viewers.

I write linearly without knowing the full story. I discover it as I write it.

There's nothing quite like a quiet corner in a coffee shop to gather your thoughts and begin writing.

What you feel about a film is what you feel when you're in love with a woman. You fight for her love and it's always a struggle... there are misunderstandings and you're always trying to prove that there's more to you.

I think I was smart to marry him. I think that's my smartness, that I chose the right guy.

When I came to Mumbai, it was very difficult. I enjoyed every bit of it, but it was so new, and life was very different - new people and new home.

I believe a person who designs for the sheer passion of creativity can do so across media - it is like any other form of art.

I want to reiterate the fact that at the core of it all, I am a designer, a creator, and as a creative person, I will choose to be limitless in the extension models of my various ideas on design.

I was an artist before I got into interiors.

Staying curious keeps me inspired.

I love walking into an empty room and imagining what it could be.

I would design for anybody who gives me a free hand and who doesn't sit on my head.

This is what I love doing. I am very easy with it. It comes instantly and quickly to me. And I don't need to spend hours designing... I could design on a beach or while travelling.

Too much clutter is a disturbance to the energy of a space for me. It's big no-no for me.
