Richard Burton is one of my heroes.

There is no need for use of torture instruments such as ankush for controlling the elephants. We can do it with the help of verbal commands.

If I was a businessman, I could have made a huge amount of money. But none of that really crossed my mind while I was young and traveling.

I've always found people to be by far the biggest problem-causers in life.

The combination of a brand like Cartier and the immense heritage that India holds can go places.

My flat is a bit like an oriental bazaar. It's filled with the oddest objects from all my travels, and you can't really move in it. I love collecting antiques and often spend weekends driving around bric-a-brac markets.

If you cut down the forest, you know what happens: The whole of Asia turns into a desert. Without water, you're talking civil unrest, war, mud slides - the whole bloody lot.

You can cut a tree down, and it grows back. Once a species goes, it's gone forever.

I've known elephants with broken hearts, others with depression.
