“The idea of music is to liberate the listener and lead him to a frame ...” — A. R. Rahman Quote

“The idea of music is to liberate the listener and lead him to a frame where he feels he is elevated.”

“Bollywood music is definitely a big part of Indian music and can be a great way to introduce people to the sound. But I hope to continue to incorporate other types of Indian music into my work.”

“The more I compose, the more I know that I don't know it all. I think it's a good way to start. If you think you know it all, the work becomes a repetition of what you've already done. I try to make sure that I don't repeat my music.”

“I am a black woman, you know, and a black woman who if we're just honest is over a size 10. And when you're watching a film, you're watching me, in clothes and in different silhouettes, in a larger frame - and you don't, for some reason, see that too often.”

“You don't need a framework. You need a painting, not a frame.”

“I always wanted to be a photographer. While I was at school, I got a lab-monkey holiday job in the darkrooms at the 'Independent.' What they taught me there was: you need to get the whole story in one frame.”
