Читать книгу Handbuch Filmgeschichte - Willem Strank - Страница 7

My role is not just artist. It’s also activist because of the way I look. On so many shows and

movies, race was a gesture, and in mine it’s the premise. I can’t ignore that what a lot of

people see is an Indian woman who doesn’t look like a Bollywood star.

It piques their interest, and they’re not bad for wanting me to tell stories about it,

and I’m not wrong for not wanting to. I want to fill my desire to write vibrant,

flawed characters, but then also be a role model to young people.

It’s stuff that I think about all the time.

Some people don’t have to think about this at all.
