An individual can have a point of view. He is entitled to that.

To embrace Hindutva is to embrace an obscurantist, backward looking, divisive ideology that seeks to polarise society through identity politics.

I have been writing poetry for a long time now. I started writing in my school days.

You learn on the job. When I was a young lawyer and got a case, I knew nothing about the subject. You start reading, you look for the philosophy behind it, and by the time you are actually in a court of law, you are a master.

Through geospatial technologies, you can plan a whole city sitting in your room.

The justice delivery system needs structural change. It needs fresh vision and innovative solutions.

The appointment of judges to the higher judiciary cannot be the sole domain of a few members of the higher judiciary. This turf must be shared.

The overreach of the judiciary can be attributed to, one, the inability of the executive to deliver; and two, the tendency to issue judicial pronouncements for national good. The second element is dangerous because that's the function of the government.

M&A guidelines need to be liberal.

I came into politics by accident. I may go out of politics by accident.

I would welcome satirical references to political leaders as part of freedom of expression.

Public figures will get public criticism, and they should be tolerant enough to take it.

BJP is the mothership of violence.

We're trying to create a better world, not a perfect one. It cannot ever be perfect.

Modi is an excellent orator - sure, anybody who spouts untruths is an excellent orator.

I believe a true Hindu in India could never have endorsed the killing of the Mahatma.

Corruption is in society and in every strata of society.

The media can allege corruption, but if I do the same against the media, I am gagging freedom of expression.

Universities are not places where police can come and arrest people. Let the children have a discourse as they want to. They will learn as they move on in life. But to target individuals and institutions is dangerous.

The judiciary is entitled to finally resolve a dispute. Not every decision is right.

Sports can't be run by governments.

If there are malpractices in sports, part of the solution lies in the organisations themselves taking a very strong view and cleaning up the mess from within.

The great challenge before the IITs is to act as a catalyst in the growth of quality technical education in the country.

When you have a limited resource and you have a lot of people wanting that resource, then those who get more justify as to why they got more, and those who get less say they have been treated badly.

How do you trust a prime minister who said one thing before the elections and does exactly the opposite after the elections?

No matter who the prime minister is, incremental changes take place. The economy moves on.

My family is Jamaican and Cuban, but we would go to see our Jamaican side every summer for three months and every Christmas. One of the things I used to love was climbing trees and picking ackee fruit for breakfast.

There's so much toxic masculinity out there. I grew up with the notion that the more masculine you are and the less you show emotion, the more of a man you are.

Bomber jackets, for me, are the new blazers. They're something I can wear with suit pants or slacks - or I can go really urban with it. I think, as men, we don't have the little black dress that women do to go from day to nighttime, but the bomber can be the LBD for men.

Being vulnerable is not a sign of weakness. It's a sign of strength.

Meghan Trainor is my female crush because she's just fierce.

There's a lot of 'how to adopt' books, but there's no practical resource for, say, school supplies.

The worst thing about our political system is that people debate; I wish our politicians were able to talk to each other rather than scream while trying to gain sound bites.

I have such a deeper respect for firemen knowing how much they get paid and how much they put themselves on the line.

My goal has always been to help as many people as I can.

It's been more than a decade since 'The Real World: Philadelphia' aired. I've grown up. My views have evolved, as has the media landscape.

Historically, hip-hop is about a generation of artists rapping about the realities they see in their neighborhoods or the 'truths' they hear growing up in their homes.

Most of the time, people are afraid of silence, and I'm not.

I was on MTV's 'Real World' at the time when 'Queer Eye' came out. I remember, the first time I won an award, I got the award, and they were like, 'It's a tie! With 'Queer Eye!'' I never thought that I would one day follow in their footsteps.

My father loved me and was devoted to me until he knew I was gay, and then our relationship went south. So I always make sure that I let my sons know that I will love them, no matter what they do or who they become, for the rest of their lives.

I own about 70 L.A. Dodgers snapbacks in different colors.

We have to start making sure that churches start to talk about... black queerness in a way that's affirming. Because a lot of young black men are in the church, and that's where they start to learn this self-hate behavior.

I always encourage people to get out there, travel the world, see new things, experience new people, experience new food, experience new culture. What happens is that helps you to grow and be your best self.

The perpetuation of family and cultural pressures to conform to prescribed masculine behaviors is what creates social isolation and distress in many young gay and trans people of color.

Yes, I would definitely let the 'Queer Eye' - I mean, cameras - follow me for my marriage.

Any parent who says parenting came easily to them is not being honest with themselves. Parenting is hard.

Really, I think the extra layer of raising a son as a gay black man comes from trying to raise a son who doesn't subscribe to masculine stereotypes.

We must do our part to make ourselves visible to the world. Let everyone see that being a queer parent of color is normal and happening right next door to them.

Even when you look at, like, movies with some of our famous celebrities, they don't really cry and bring out their tears until, like, forced.

Love is love, and people need to just accept that.
