"I want to question what the outside is and who defines it. I often find those that are considered to be on the outside extremely inspiring"
- Mira Nair
About this Quote
This quote by Mira Nair talks to the idea of challenging the status quo and questioning the limits of what is thought about to be the "outdoors". Nair is suggesting that those who are considered to be on the outside of society, or who are marginalized, are typically the most inspiring. She is challenging us to consider who is specifying the boundaries of the "outside" and to think about the possibility that those who are on the exterior may have something to provide. By doing this, Nair is encouraging us to believe critically about the power dynamics that exist in society and to recognize the potential of those who are typically neglected. Ultimately, she is recommending that we should not be so fast to evaluate those who are on the outdoors, however instead to recognize their possible and to be influenced by them.

"We worked very hard to make the lyrics suit the music. I can't, like Elton John, for example, compose by lyrics. Elton has a great talent for that. Whatever you give him, including your questions, he composes in half an hour and makes a great song out of it"
