This is just what I have thought when I have seen slaves at work – they seem to go through the motions of labor without putting strength into them. They keep their powers in reserve for their own use at night perhaps.

2

The only reason I would stay away from a period piece is because sometimes the women are painted in a very stereotypical weakling wallflower way – that's something I don't want to do. I want to show strength in the women I play and a journey of some sort.

1 Age

  • 1. At the age when Bengali youth almost inevitably writes poetry I was listening to European classical music.
  • 2. I began to speak well at a very advanced age – 15 16 17 years old. It was psychological: the trauma of war my family and growing up on my own. I was more or less a street kid.
  • 3. Losing both parents at a young age gave me a sense that you can't really control life – so you'd better live it while it's here. I stopped believing in a storybook existence a long time ago. All you can do is push in a direction and see what comes of it.

2 Amazing

  • 1. If you pay attention to the world it's an amazing place. If you don't it's whatever you think it is.
  • 2. Janet Jackson is an icon I've been honored to meet her a few times working with her would be amazing.
  • 3. I like what I see now in China but I think the Japanese are a step ahead into craziness and weirdness. I go to galleries there that are the size of a New York elevator and every time I'm surprised by the amazing things I find. I really hope I'll be able to promote some of these artists to show their work in the West.

3 Anger

  • 1. My friends love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world.
  • 2. Fantastic tyrant of the amorous heart. How hard thy yoke how cruel thy dart. Those escape your anger who refuse your sway and those are punished most who most obey.
  • 3. The anger that Uncle Junior has comes from my background. My father was the son of an Italian immigrant and I've seen the fire of the Italian temperament. It can be explosive sometimes in ways that are both funny and tragic.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Marriage is the most natural state of man and… the state in which you will find solid happiness.
  • 2. So I think you have to marry for the right reasons and marry the right person.
  • 3. One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.

5 Architecture

  • 1. After World War II great strides were made in modern Japanese architecture not only in advanced technology allowing earthquake resistant tall buildings but expressing and infusing characteristics of traditional Japanese architecture in modern buildings.
  • 2. A city building you experience when you walk a suburban building you experience when you drive.
  • 3. I take a lot from everywhere. I take from music architecture novels and plays. Anywhere that hits you.
