Were it not for the mind change of Sai devotees the world would already have fallen into complete chaos. The deterioration of mind and man has been very rapid and abrupt, even precipitous during the last fifteen years. That the world is not in total destruction is due to the change of mind of Sai devotees and to Sai's grace.
The whole world will be transformed into Sathya Sai Organisation and Sathya Sai will be installed in the hearts of one and all.
Fame has not changed me as a person, but life on the whole has changed a lot. I belong to a middle class family and that hasn't changed.
Teens are being portrayed with depth because they are multidimensional, and they deserve to be portrayed as such.
There are stories to be told that are still untold and characters to be portrayed that haven't been portrayed correctly. So there's work to be done.
Sometimes, you get portrayed the way you don't want to be portrayed.
I've been portrayed as a womanising football hooligan, but I don't recognise that person.
The person portrayed and the portrait are two entirely different things.
I think it's strange for people to read about themselves, no matter what's portrayed or how it's portrayed. But they get used to it, and I think they're fine with it.
I have never read a really good novel written by a man where women are portrayed as they truly are. They can be portrayed externally very well - Stendhal's Madame de Renal, for example - but only as seen from the outside.
So many times we're portrayed in ways that we don't want to be portrayed, in ways that make us seem so ridiculous.
I was asked to give a speech on the Everest swim, and during the Everest swim, I changed. I changed as a person, I honestly did. That mountain changed me, and I gave a speech about it for nine minutes.
The movie portrayed me as this person who cussed every 10 seconds, and I don't cuss like that.
[Wham!] totally changed my life. It would be very difficult to know how it changed me as a person; you'd have to ask other people that.
By and large, serious fiction was the work of victims who portrayed victims for an audience of victims who, it was oddly assumed, would want to see their lives realistically portrayed.
