Diljit Dosanjh

“I feel hockey is a tough game.”

“I don't feel like a celebrity. I did not sign 'Udta Punjab' to increase my fan following.”

“If anyone thinks they have set a formula for success, that's not true. Because if that were to happen then people would only be copying that formula and every following film would be a copy alone.”

“I am not running after money in Bollywood, I am experimenting with films and roles here.”

“I had never imagined that one day, my statue would be installed at Madame Tussauds.”

“I am very shy on set. I don't talk much.”

“I love working; I don't take things for granted, so I just love to do what I do whilst it lasts.”

“Ranbir has the ability to be a natural in front of the camera. There is nothing artificial about him. When I watch him on screen, I always feel that he is not acting. And I see this quality only in him among my contemporaries. I am a big Ranbir Kapoor fan.”

“I think that the Punjabi film industry is growing and is keen to experiment with different genres.”

“I don't compose rap songs or party numbers. I only compose folk.”

“Youngsters in Punjab have a borrowed mindset, music and fashion sense from Canada and Hollywood because a large number of our relatives are settled abroad.”

“It's a misconception that singers in Punjab use music as a backup in case their acting fails. For me, singing is the front, it's not the backup, it was acting that happened by chance.”

“There is no doubt that I feel bad when a film flops, but I can't sit back and not take up new work owing to that.”

“Because of what I did in Punjabi cinema, I have got offers in Bollywood.”

“The only thing I consider before signing a project is that my fans should like it. I understand my responsibility towards my fans.”

“If I can't put my heart and soul into a film, I don't take it up.”

“I don't talk about films even after I sign them because between the signing and the shooting, anything can happen. I am not superstitious, it's just that I don't like talking about a film that is not completed.”

“I can't take a break from acting but I've learnt to work my way around films and devote time to my music career.”

“People used to think I am wearing turban so maybe I won't act. Then Bollywood happened. So on its own things have happened in my career.”

“When I am offered a film, I don't ask whether I will be singing any of the movie's tracks.”
