When you write, you write out of your best self. Everything else drops away.

The way you write a screenplay is that you close your eyes and run the movie in your head and then you write it down.

If you're offended, it's your problem.

You can take the boy out of Bombay; you can't take Bombay out of the boy, you know.

I write books I'd enjoy reading, I'm the reader standing behind my shoulder.

I'm a big-city boy. What I like is big cities. It's not just what I like. It's what I write about.
