I hate when you see a film and after one scene you know what's going to happen and you can predict the whole story.
'In the Cut' was not what readers expected of me. Before it was published, I was seen as a women's writer, which meant that I wrote movingly about flowers and children.
My favorite kind of book is a domestic drama that's grounded in reality yet slightly unhinged.
My Brilliant Career was beautifully directed, but I had a bit of trouble with myself in it. It was a silly script, based on a book this 16-year-old girl wrote.
A film in Bollywood was truly unexpected.
'Aiyyaa' is a very quirky film.
If you are in any way squeamish or genteel, skip 'Gillespie and I.' If you'd like to know a little more about the seamy side of the human condition, by all means, pick this one up.
Dolly Ki Doli' excited me because it has unique characters. Though it is a smaller film and without a big star, it is still a mainstream film.
Rapunzel is a bit more relatable than the other princesses, especially because she doesn't even know that she's a princess until the very end of the movie. I like to think of her as the bohemian Disney princess. She's barefoot and living in a tower. She paints and reads... She's a Renaissance woman.
By the time you have your protagonist attempting to assassinate the Pope, you've sort of signaled that everything is on the table.
I'm actually a very dark person, so I really want to get into some really dark roles, maybe some thrillers. I've never done one of those, so I think I'd really want to get into that, but definitely something that would get lots of people talking.
