Indian culture certainly gives the Indian mind, including the mind of the Indian scientist, the ability to think out of the box.
Anyone who has been to India - specifically Rajasthan, the rich and kingly region in the country's northwest - knows that when it comes to adornment, Indians do not think like other people.
The Indians have such strong traditions and aesthetics, and the people are beautiful, as are their goods.
I often find myself unsatisfied with books 'about' Indians because they are written from the viewpoint of non-Indians.
The Indian is a human being.
Some Indians will come up and say that a story reminded them of something very specific to their experience. Which may or may not be the case for non-Indians.
In the John Wayne movies, the Indians were savages that were trying to scalp you. That culture has really suffered because of the stereotype you see in those westerns.
I always say that when I first started, my videos were very veered towards Indian people.
I remember, in my first show in New York, they asked, 'Where is the Indian-ness in your work?'... Now, the same people, after having watched the body of my work, say, 'There is too much Indian philosophy in your work.' They're looking for a superficial skin-level Indian-ness, which I'm not about.
I'm very attracted to Indians.
