Quote

Trinidad may seem complex, but to anyone who knows it, it is a simple, colonial, philistine society.

I love Trinidad and I love living there, but it's quite harsh.

On my passage thither, I discovered nothing remarkable in the features of the country.

In the Soviet Union, no industry went under until they all did.

The mixture of the Trinidadian people and the Indian people has caused a new culture to emerge.

But also, there are no films being made about Afghanistan.

I didn't really have any interest in producing anything.

In Trinidad, where as new arrivals we were a disadvantaged community, that excluding idea was a kind of protection; it enabled us - for the time being, and only for the time being - to live in our own way and according to our own rules, to live in our own fading India.
