Cancer makes you realise that you will be dead one day. It's so common seeing people dying and falling sick, but we aren't really ever able to comprehend it ourselves. The realisation that I am here for a certain period of time and will be gone after that made me value my time and life.

I don't have sugar and try to avoid it as much as possible. At home, I don't have it at all.

I cannot digest too much junk food. I just have it once in a blue moon.

After being diagnosed with cancer, one is in a lot of fear and anxiety about the anticipated pain and the painful treatment.

I like working with creative people who are receptive to new ideas, who want to do things that are different, who want to create films of a different mould.

I don't believe in harbouring ill feelings about anyone.
