Growing up in the States, there's this part of me that's like, man, I'm Indian. Like, this is where I belong. And as soon as I got to India, and I had to go to the bathroom in some places, I was, like, 'Man - I am American.'

Everybody's past and history informs them.

Nuanced debate can't stand up to a guy who's calling women pigs and retweeting white supremacists.

My goal is just to continue to find mediums to tell stories that I think need to be told.

There was a time when I didn't like myself at all. I thought I was a cruel joke. But now I've come to realise that maybe I am not cute, but I am beautiful.

You can find comedy anywhere.

It's a very tough time for the playwright. Broadway has become almost a musical comedy theme park with all these long-running shows.

In something like 'Frank,' which is a comedy, albeit a strange and emotional one, you can absolutely put in deleted scenes, and we did because they were just funny and great, but they weren't necessary in the overall structure.
