The American public is a very specialized public. The reason it is taken as a realistic film is because inside the fable, I've put that kind of reality in.

My films often have a very strong strain of irony, or even sarcasm, which is definitely related to homosexual camp.

I watch all kinds of Indian cinema. There are many good films in Bengali, Marathi and Malayalam.
