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.

Don’t throw out buzz words without really knowing what is going on behind it.

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.

Style is something very individual, very personal, and in their own unique way, I believe everyone is stylish.

Will future ages believe that such stupid bigotry ever existed!

Each age has deemed the new-born year the fittest time for festal cheer.

One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name.

Confidence is something you’re born with. I know I had loads of it even at the age of 15.

I was born in Houston, Texas. I grew up in Houston, by Missouri City. It’s, like, a suburb in the area; it’s middle-class. But I used to stay with my grandma in the hood from ages one to six.

I knew I wanted to be a rapper when I was, like, 5.

Spiritual practices help us move from identifying with the ego to identifying with the soul. Old age does that for you too. It spiritualizes people naturally.

I’m not sure why everyone wants to age me.
