In my ideal world, no child would suffer. Charitable instincts would prevail. There would be global acceptance of all different types of people.
In an ideal world, you could reunite the Pakistan-occupied part of Kashmir with the Indian-occupied part and restore the old borders. You could have both India and Pakistan agreeing to guarantee those borders, demilitarise the area, and to invest in it economically. In a sane world that would happen, but we don't live in a sane world.
In an ideal world, nobody's work would be just about the money. People could pursue excellence in what they do, take pride in achievement, and derive meaning from knowing that their work improved the lives of others.
In an ideal world, it would not take a film star to get the media focused on mental illness.
I believe that, in an ideal world, writers would feel free to write what matters to them without having to consider success, failure, the market, etc.
In an ideal world, I'd love to work on something that is on par with 'Lost' or better than 'Lost.'
In an ideal world, I'd like to carry on acting, but I don't want it to interfere with my studies.
In an ideal world, I'd bounce between big projects and no-budget TV dramas with fantastic scripts.
At the time of Woodstock, I was just 13, but I used to see these exotic hippy creatures and I did look on with envy. How could you not? In an ideal world, I would have loved to have been a hippy - but I might have been a bit strait-laced. It was my fantasy.
I think that people have expectations of themselves and other people that are based on these fictions that are presented to them as the way human life and relationships could be, in some sort of weird, ideal world, but they never are. So you're constantly being shown this garbage and you can't get there.
