“I was into movies before my graduation results got out. In fact, I was on location of a movie when they came.”

“Acting is my profession; I enact all roles with sincerity.”

“I generally have confidence in my directors.”

“When I have something to say or share with my viewers, I turn to my blog, and even then, I make it clear that it is my take on certain events.”

“If you are a very ordinary human being, nothing affects you, nothing bothers you, and nothing troubles you. That's how I live my life.”

“Cinema is an art form, a result of dedication of a number of people.”

“The thing about movies is that till it goes on floors, it's just preparations for the film.”

“I have been writing my blog for several years. Whenever I have written about pertinent subjects, no one has supported them. For instance, the stray dog menace. I cycle in the morning every day, and I am still scared of stray dog attacks.”

“We tend to have so many more close shots, which compels an artist to actually put in more effort than it is required otherwise. So, it is the expressions on the face, and how an actor presents his or her character, that really makes a scene. In such ways, Mollywood is a fabulous training ground for actors and actresses from other industries.”

“For me, every film is an interesting experience.”

“There is no big problem in the Malayalam industry. You shouldn't think of the #MeToo as a movement, actually. It is a fad, and it is turning into something of a fashion. Anything like that will have a lifespan for a bit.”

“I have a shot a lot of movies in Dubai.”

“For an actor, it is great to have fans.”

“I studied, gained friends, became a father, faced the clipboard unexpectedly for the first time, earned some beautiful moments with family and buddies in Thiruvananthapuram.”

“There comes a turning point in the life of every person when he reflects on his journey and work and ponders on the next road to take. Is this the pinnacle, the ultimate? What next?”

“I have never, ever argued about money with any of my producers because that is the kind of relationship and understanding I have with them.”

“If I had not made a film like 'Vaanaprastham,' I would not have been able to go to Cannes or any other festival. I would not have had a chance to act as a Kathakali artiste. I would not have had a chance to be with some of the greatest Kathakali artistes. I consider all this my good fortune.”

“I don't hope for anything. Not only in my professional life, but in my family life also. My total lifestyle is like that.”

“Every actor or director has their ups and downs.”

“When I started acting, I did many films without even an idea of what the script was about. The film would start, and then we would discover what we were expected to do on the sets. Those days have changed.”
