“I have no self-centeredness or ego about being a movie star.”
“I am very clear that when I work with a director what he or she says is the last word.”
“I'm too shy to do kissing scenes.”
“There is no right time and right place for love... it can happen any time.”
“As far as the public is concerned, India is amazingly secular.”
“If I talk to a girl, it's assumed that I'm having a scene with her. If I don't, then it's assumed that I'm gay.”
“I do have a close circle of friends and I am very fortunate to have them as friends. I feel very close to them I think friends are everything in life after your family. You come across lots of people all the time but you only make very few friends and you have to be true to them otherwise what's the point in life?”
“I work hard, like I'm sure everyone else does, and I'm very honest with the work I do.”
“In India, the films are not looked upon just as entertainment. They're a way of life.”
“You know, I think we Indians are afraid to show and celebrate our happiness, lest things change around. But I feel that it's okay to be sad and okay to show when you are happy.”
“The only time I don't work is when I am asleep.”
“More than an actor, I am a performer... I'm a great believer - honestly so, shamelessly so, vulgarly so - that cinema is for entertainment. If you want to send messages, there's the postal service.”
“Whether people like it or not, my marketing thought is if you keep something in front of people for too long, they get used to it.”
“I personally believe the film turns out better when shot in one short schedule, plus it doesn't stress the actors.”
“Just be nice to me while I am doing the scene; that is all. I don't want big cars, I don't want big hotel rooms.”
“In the world of creativity, laziness translates into an inability to be rigorous enough to create fearlessly. It makes us plagiarise or water our creativity down to make it more acceptable to the public.”
“My life may seem glamorous from the outside but off screen it's as ordinary as anyone else's.”
“As a matter of fact, I find the Western cinema very fantastic.”
“For someone who doesn't even like love stories, I've played an awful lot of lovers.”
“I am like a kid. I tell my family and friends I'm like a kid.”
