Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

The advice i would give to any photographer - young, old or in-between - is to explore anything visual because this is, after all, how you express your artistry. look at paintings, movies, drawings, sculptures - look at anything visual and try to integrate that into your visual sense. after that, go out and take pictures and keep on taking pictures!

I suppose i could read more fiction, but i haven't moved in that direction. i'd like more time even though i spend six hours a day reading. people say their eyes get tired, but i've never experienced that. in college i used to read 10 hours a day. my wife says i'm obsessive compulsive. she might have a point because when i was an undergrad student we had the required reading list and the suggested reading list. i always read all the suggested reading too.

I'm very literate on policy. i'm very literate on the issues, and i'm an american first. i've been involved in politics long before i was an actress. i just happen to have a platform now. i just happen to have a voice.

I am flatly opposed to appointment of an ambassador to the vatican. whatever advantages it might have in rome - and i'm not convinced of these - they would be more than offset by the divisive effect at home.

What i would not do is flaunt my indianess by wearing a saree to work everyday, because it distracts from the job. so, i would not do that. when in rome, do as the romans do. social events are different. if i feel comfortable in a saree for a social event, i wear it.

Every spirit builds itself a house; and beyond its house a world; and beyond its world, a heaven. know then, that the world exists for you. for you is the phenomenon perfect. what we are, that only can we see. all that adam had, all that caesar could, you have and can do. adam called his house, heaven and earth; caesar called his house, rome; you perhaps call yours, a cobler's trade; a hundred acres of ploughed land; or a scholar's garret. yet line for line and point for point, your dominion is as great as theirs, though without fine names. build, therefore, your own world.
