“As a matter of fact, I find the Western cinema very fantastic.”

Whenever I fail as a father or husband. A toy and a diamond always works.

You can love me or hate me but you can’t ignore me.

Success is not a good teacher, failure makes you humble.

It’s easy to be ignorant but it’s very intricate to be aware.

Togetherness, passion, laughter, faith, trust, and jealousy are the essential ingredients of love.

They say time is measured in days, months and beards.

Live life to the fullest tomorrow may never be.

Cinema in India is like brushing your teeth in the morning. You can’t escape it.

It is stupid on my part to think of banning the media.

If you like me, raise your hand. If you don’t, raise your standards.

I think love can happen at any age. It has no age.

I personally believe the film turns out better when shot in one short schedule, plus it doesn’t stress the actors.

Life begins when we decide it’s going to begin for us.

I can’t say that only the citizens litter. I must say that I have also been wrong in doing this. We need to ban plastics and be a little careful with garbage.

Don’t be negative. It shows on your face.

If you want to become something, achieve something in life, then always listen to your heart.

People want to psychoanalyze me, but the fact is, I’m not that complicated. I’m pretty straightforward. And I’m not all that self-reflective, because I tend to be a doer.

Really see me. Then I remember who I am, and that no one wants to see the parts of me I try so hard to hide. It’s a plain fact, not something I pity.

I believe that everything happens for a reason, and what seems bad at first might in fact be something of a blessing.

The main thing, of course, always, is the fact that there is only one of you in the world, just one, and if that is not fulfilled then something has been lost. Ambition is not enough; necessity is everything.

The fact is, we are leaky vessels, and we have to keep right under the fountain all the time to keep full of Christ, and so have fresh supply.

I refuse to be ashamed of the fact that my body does bleed each month; it is why we are all here.

When I first appeared, people couldn’t figure out whether I was gay, straight, black, white or whatever, and I loved that. I loved the fact it scares people.

The fact that people are actually shaving their eyebrows is very flattering. But it’s crazy that people are singing songs I wrote in my bedroom.
