“I don’t go out anywhere. I don’t go to nightclubs, so meeting somebody in the nightclub is out of question.”

Sometimes I feel I hope I am not taking advantage of my stardom.

If I ever have a child. Insh’allah I will. I wish it’s a girl. I want a girl child.

All fashion brands are about looking good. Being Human is also about doing good. And you can do good by the simple act of slipping into a t-shirt or a pair of jeans.

I’m not possessive, I’m caring. Once you realize a person doesn’t want that much care, you automatically back off.

Turn your nightmares into your dreams , some dreams don’t turn out the way you want them to , then wake up and turn and turn it around in your favour.

I am not born to just become an actor.

If the film is a hit then everyone shares the success. If it is going to be a disaster then it might as well be because of me, not because of somebody else.

For me acting, comes straight from the heart. In that sense I don’t act at all. I think that to feel the character’s pain I have to be myself. Somewhere audiences see that.

Shah Rukh is not my girlfriend that I should remember him. When I don’t remember my past girlfriends, what will I remember Shah Rukh for?

There are people who want awards because it changes the perception of the audience. But I’m not into all that.

Have you seen a duck gliding smoothly on water? Does it ever look like it is paddling furiously underneath the surface? I don’t have to show that I am working very hard.

A lion runs the fastest when he is hungry.

Any film is about heroism: the triumph of good over evil. If you look back at my films, you will see that as a recurring theme.

Now at 47, 48 I am expected to do ten times better work that I did when I was 24.

There is a fire raging inside you; do not allow anyone to extinguish it. And so on these nights when you think you are broken, remember the flame, and feel it burn.

Oh, how I like those little mortifications that are seen by nobody, such as rising a quarter of an hour sooner, rising for a little while in the night to pray!

Come nightfall, wrap your arms around the tenderness – of her skin.

I told the night everything about you. It smiled, and said, “stranger dreams have come true”.

Life is a night spent in an uncomfortable inn.

Who knew the shortest nights would stay with us the longest? – solstice.

Our Guardian Angels are our most faithful friends, because they are with us day and night, always and everywhere. We ought often to invoke them.

Felling a tree and gazing at the cut end – tonight’s moon.
