Trisha Ziff is a short film maker and producer. Her movies include The Mexican Suitcase. She directed movie based upon X in 2008.

She made the following quote about X.

"People wear the image for all kinds of reasons. To some, X is saint-like. People quote from X’s writings and aspire to his X’s systems. To others it's a generic symbol of rebellion, anti-establishment. And for many, the image has become so diluted, it's just a hip and cool looking image. A lot of younger people don't even know who it is they are wearing across their chests. We live in a culture today where understanding symbols doesn't necessarily matter."

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

The columnist Ramachandra Guha writes about X's cricketing interests in the following paragraph.

The only evidence of X’s interest in cricket that I know of is contained in a newspaper essay of 1958 by the Gujarati journalist Harish Booch. Booch had just met one of the X’s classmates at Alfred High School, Rajkot. This man, Ratilal Ghelabhai Mehta, remembered X as “a dashing cricketer” who “evinced a keen interest in the game as a school student”. He was, it seems, “good both at batting and bowling”, and had an uncanny understanding of the game’s uncertainties as well. Mehta spoke of a match they had watched together as schoolboys, played between Rajkot city and Rajkot cantonment. Apparently, “at a crucial moment in the match, as if through intuition, X said a particular player would be out and hey presto, that batsman was really out!”
