I feel Delhi always has a problem in understanding different regions and cultures.

Modi has misused institutions like the ED, Intelligence Bureau, CBI, RBI and National Statistical Commission for political gains and harassing his political opponents. Modi lost his credibility by all these acts.

I have been responsible for so many fronts in the past: The National Front, the United Front; the UNPA, too, was created by me.

In the past, some natives used to collude with Britishers. In the same way, YSRCP is now colluding with Centre.

Don't write for money.

Until 1954, I'd only ever thought of being a painter, but I earned my money when and where I could. You could say I drifted into writing.

I should have known growing up and not having any money ever that I should have kept every dollar that I had.

What I wanted to do was to earn enough money to pay for my mother's house. When my mother passed away, I wanted to buy it from the rest of my family and keep the house in the family. That was the only reason I even attempted writing for money.
