Diljit Dosanjh

“I work from my heart. When I look at the script, I need to feel myself in the character.”

“When I started playing hockey, I realised the entire game relies on your back- you have to bend to play it.”

“I don't usually watch my films in theatres when they release.”

“I feel happy when people hire me only as an actor.”

“For the production of 'Jodi' I have joined hands with Amrinder Gill, but he would not be seen on the screen for this film.”

“Music is my life. If music takes a backseat, everything will go away from my life.”

“I want to do movies with great stories. The content should be strong.”

“I don't do anything keeping Bollywood in mind.”

“It's not like after winning an award, your job is done and you can relax. You still have to work hard.”

“My choice of script is governed by two factors - either I've to like the people associated with the project or the storyline should be interesting. I focus more on the vibe and the type of energy I get from them.”

“I never approach comedy thinking 'I know it all.' Comedy is tough. To make people laugh is not easy.”

“I am happy that people are taking me seriously as an actor.”

“If you remind yourself everyday, where you are from, who you really are, what will happen in the future, and where you exactly stand, then you'll be sane.”

“I would love to do a movie based on our desi sports kabbadi or hockey. I guess I can play these games and do the justice to them.”

“Akshay sir is very good at comedy. He has so much energy in him. He not only expresses with his dialogues but also his body. He is like Mr Bean.”

“I've never wished for people to recognise me or anything.”

“I had heard that in Bollywood, one gets publicity without even asking for it. There are new rumours every day and the celebrities involved get disturbed.”

“If I don't like anything I say no to it.”

“Even during 'Udta Punjab,' I didn't say much until the film was out. I feel it's incorrect to talk about a film until everything falls into place.”

“I look at the story and see what I have got to do in the film. Sometimes the story is great, set-up is good but there isn't much for you to do. I don't want to do that.”
