The proper role of government, however, is that of partner with the farmer - never his master. By every possible means we must develop and promote that partnership - to the end that agriculture may continue to be a sound, enduring foundation for our economy and that farm living may be a profitable and satisfying experience.

If you're still making art in your 30s you're either wadded or good - and I'm both.

Jeetendra, Sridevi, what kind of film and what kind of music do you expect with these ingredients? The industry is full of shopkeepers who're out to make money - not art.

The real art is knowing what to leave out, not what to put in.

I'm kind of hooked to the game of art and literature; my heroes are artists and writers.
