I think I'll be Scottish in every movie I write. They always try to talk me out of it, but Woody Allen is always a nebbish New Yorker. Why shouldn't I be a goofy Glaswegian?
Im not a redneck, Im from Texas.
Since I'm a Minnesotan, that bragging thing is a little hard.
I am bored of the 'Gangs of Wasseypur' image.
We South Asians have sycophancy in our genes!
Out in Hollywood I'm getting to be regarded as the 'redneck adviser.'

When you're from the East Coast or you're from the South, people expect you to sound a certain way. So if you don't sound that way, people won't label you as that type of artist. For me, I had a whole new lane to create for myself being from Pittsburgh and being a Midwest artist.
How could a New Yorker possibly take something called the Hollywood String Quartet seriously?
This doesn't happen in America! Maybe Ohio, but not in America!" Homer Simpson
