I think his karma became to serve in nature and not to serve in the world, while I think my karma is to be in the world.

There are people like me who are not there yet, who are still the eagle flying high right now, still experiencing more in the world and growing as a result of that - and that is my journey.

There is a role for growth and experiencing the world, and pushing the boundaries of that, and then there is a time to bring it within. All people are at different stages of that journey.

I think nothing, at an objective level, is either right or wrong.

When I started, these [yoga] were very functional practices, as I said, productive to lose weight, or whatever, and now it has become a very spiritual kind of practice.

In the first 27 years of my life, I never had written a single non-technical word. I went to engineering college and went to business school. I never knew I could write fiction of any form.

The first novel that I wrote was because I was having very interesting sorts of experiences, for Indians of my generation.

What I'm trying to do right now is truly answer my most deepest most unarticulated questions for myself through my writing in some form.

My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging.

It's a little strange to become a kind of symbol of a whole type of analysis.

Nothing pleases which is not freshened by variety.

In a cult intervention information is presented about the group that the member is most often not aware of.

You can't make sense of the present unless a part of you lives in the past.

Don't try to tackle a two-hour feature movie as your first project. Cut your teeth on a smaller level and work through the kinks at that level and build your strength as you go.

Postmodernism is among other things a sick joke at the expense of... revolutionary avant-gardism.
