Kabir Bedi

“In the 30 years of my career, I have explored all possible mediums, except radio.”

“Vamps no longer exist. Stars have taken their roles.”

“Acting is the most insecure profession in the world - you're insecure if you're successful, you're insecure if you're not. A tightrope walk without a net. It's a miracle I'm still standing!”

“I turned into a monk when my mother went to learn Buddhism in Burma. While she learnt at the monastery, I used to roam around with a begging bowl and ask for food.”

“I am going to produce a movie of my own. I am not going to stick to the time-tested formulae of Hindi cinema. I want to make a film for the present generation. So there will be a lot of new faces in the film.”

“I love the stage, I love the process of acting in theatre, but unfortunately, it doesn't pay the bills.”

“I also said, men are like curling irons, they never get out of your hair. And they are like government bonds, they take so long to mature.”

“I have never pressurized a producer to do me any favor.”

“Everything has a place and time.”

“You see, I have many friends in the Hindi film industry.”

“I have never been worried about the future. I will always be able to drive my own feet.”

“I adore 'The Chipmunks.'”

“Whether people choose to have same sex relationships or relationships outside the marriage - whatever happens between two consenting adults should be purely their business, not the state's or the society's.”

“Acting was merely a pastime; I wanted to make films. But theatre, ah - now that was a labour of love. Can there be anything better than performing without retakes and cuts, in front of people you can see, hearing them breathe in the darkness of the hall?”

“I have the greatest love for the rituals of organised religion - the sense of community and belonging it can confer to people. But me, I'm more a questioner than a follower; not by whim or fashion, but as a decision painfully arrived at after much, much thought.”

“You are probably right when you say that I could get a role in any producer's film if I just asked.”

“Every relationship comes with a shelf life; that duration could be a minute or even a lifetime. If, for whatever reasons, a relationship cannot last a lifetime, contrary to what the two people imagined, then both the individuals have to be communicative and have to understand and accept the reality.”
