Famous quotes containing the words west and/or bengal:
“Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they’re doing and saying in films right now just shouldn’t be allowed. There’s no dignity anymore and I think that’s very important.”

Is seldom, if ever, done,
But mad dogs and Englishmen
Go out in the midday sun.”
