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
New York City is home to so many people from so many places and the uniqueness of it is that you never feel a foreigner. English is almost hardly ever heard in the subway. In fact, its weird. – Mira Nair
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
