“Beautiful homes are made by beautiful home makers.”

I learnt very early in life that whenever there is a choice between peace of mind and piece of ass, go for the former.

Whenever you’re feeling down. And I am not around let the sight of me be the reason you smile.

I don’t teach my children what is Hindu and what is Muslim.

Well Mandira, I hope not. You see, I started both their careers. And as far as I can remember, I started yours too.

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.

The dreams I chased took me on a journey, a journey more rewarding than the goals.

I know it’s very idealistic and utopian, but I believe we need to just let everyone not be judged in terms of religion, groups or nations or region.

Whenever you’re feeling down. And I am not around let the sight of me be the reason you smile.

My favorite dish is tandoori chicken.

You never really understand your personality, unless you have a Mini Me who acts the same way

Yes I have made a lot of money and I have a lot of respect, my films have done well, and I know there are loads of loads of people who look up to me and really love me. I really just thought this is like a strange dream. I have never thought this is a success – I don’t have a standard.

It’s okay to be confused. Confusion is the route to all the clarity in the world.

One thing I teach my children and want everyone to know that even if you happen to be on a pedestal you should have the capacity to turn around and say, ‘I don’t know’. We are scared to go wrong. Downfall is part of life.

It is so strange – if anyone takes my name, I have the ability to make them famous.

Awards that ignore me are losers.

I do believe that an actor, who is self aware, will never do a film that is not an extension of his personality.

We are God’s gift to each other. Like a master composer, He brings all the instruments together, each with a different tone, each playing a different part, and He makes it turn out so beautifully.

It’s sort of like my past is an unfinished painting, and as the artist of that painting, I must fill in all the ugly holes and make it beautiful again.

Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.

Lacking strength beauty hates the understanding for asking of her what it cannot do.

Never change to fit in, our differences is what makes life beautiful.

Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty.

Like the flowers that are planted in too rich a soil, strength and usefulness are sacrificed to beauty.

A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.
