QUOTA of QUOTES
“We have such a diverse and vivid culture boasting of so many dimensions, so why do our films have to have set parameters? We are not just about song and dance, right?”—Actor Abhay Deol, 48, known for his support of parallel cinema in India. (IANS)
“I dislike the word ‘trivia.’ It’s more than knowing things. It’s finding out things about the world and sharing them, connecting with people about things they love.”— Yogesh Raut, Vancouver, Washington-based blogger, freelance writer, and podcaster who won the 2024 Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions and a grand prize of $250,000. (The Columbian)
“I was the worst lawyer. All my clients went to jail. The judge asked me, ‘Do you know what a defense lawyer does?’ and I would say back, ‘We both know he did it.’”— Stand-up comedian Zarna Garg, who has a law degree from Case Western University in Cleveland and spent 16 years as a stay-at-home mother before turning to comedy.
“There are 100 percent plans to work in India. But it’s a different beast. There’s a lot to battle that goes beyond talent to work like nepotism, colourism. I don’t have that necessarily going in my favor.”—Actress Avantika Vandanapu, 19, who plays the role of Karen Shetty in the musical comedy Mean Girls. (PTI)
