We have three generations at home, including my father-in-law. I keep a very low profile, and a lot of things I do are very much with the family in mind. I have actually made films with the family around me. – Mira Nair
My family is almost exactly like the one in Monsoon Wedding. We are very open, fairly liberal, loud people. – Mira Nair
I am at home in many cultures. I live actively in three continents and Ive done that for most of my life, so I just make films as I see the world, and that happens to speak to people. I do things that I want to do. – Mira Nair
Its only at this age that I can say the word art without flinching. – Mira Nair
Exercise helps me with stress. It changes your brain chemistry. I turn to Ashtanga yoga when I feel the need to relax. I love it, but its not right for everybody. Its taught to you a little bit at a time, according to your body type and your strength. That keeps things challenging. – Lisa Edelstein
