“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.

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.

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

There are actors who can pull of a writer’s lines; I am not competent enough to do that.

I can get caught in many things but there is one thing I will never get caught in, and that is acting – because I don’t act. On screen I am like I am in real life.

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

For my life, I need to make my own choices.

People will try and confine you in adjectives, they will either declare you beautiful or call you ugly, either way it will box you, rise above their perception of you, free yourself and let your deeds define you.

When I got somethin’ to say, I’ll say it.

I feel just like a rockstar.

A man is as unhappy as he has convinced himself he is.

You cannot climb the ladder of success dressed in the costume of failure.

We must learn to help those who deserve it, not just those who need it. Life responds to deserve not need.

People are terrified of me, and I want them to be.
