I have been in teen shows for years, so doing that stuff – kissing – is kind of commonplace and not a big deal. It was way more cool just because it was Meg Ryan.
Better biofuels are a really big deal. That means we can precisely engineer the molecules in the fuel chain and optimize them along the way. So, if all goes well, they’re going to have designer bugs in warm vats that are eating and digesting sugars to excrete better biofuels. I guess that’s better living through bugs.

I remember when I did ‘Mrityudand’ there was this big hoo-ha, and people were asking me why I was doing an art movie, and I would just tell them that, ‘You know, what’s the big deal, it’s a movie.’ I’m so glad that’s a thing of the past.
