I suspect that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention And especially if it's given from the heart. When people are talking, there's no need to do anything but receive them.

Most of us don't value ourselves or our love enough to know this.

Every person is different and unique. I am a female. I'm Indian. I'm 4'11".

And it sort of hit me that the very subject matter of the film that I'm dealing with is the key to the most important thing in our lives, and that's our relationships.

The most important pursuit is making that person, the one standing at you side, happy, for that alone is the pursuit of life.
