“All my life I have had a choice of hate and love. I chose love and I am here”

Music is something that takes you to a world which is very different from the world of hatred,jealousy, and all those negative emotions

If music wakes you up, makes you think, heals you…then, I guess the music is working.

I think I would like to discover a new root where people don’t get bored with people singing boring lines but something exciting. That’d be interesting.

Rather than making money I believe in making people happy, all other things are secondary. Money isn’t important, creative satisfaction is.

The best way would be education and kids and all that stuff and then education and working education comes through. Then I started a music school and the music school now teaches kids to play the violin and the viola.

Be original and find your inner voice. The rest will follow.

People Expect Something New From Me All The Time.And That’s Good It Keeps Me On The Edge

I don’t even know where mine [Oscar award] is. My mother has hidden it because everybody who comes in wants to take a photograph of it. So what she’s done is she put it inside a suitcase somewhere.

I believe that whatever comes at a particular time is a blessing from God.

I want to go beyond the restrictions of language, religion and caste, and music is the only thing that allows me to do that.

Music is language itself. It should not have any barriers of caste, creed, language or anything. Music is one, only cultures are different. Music is the language of languages. It is the ultimate mother of languages.

Your inner voice is the voice of divinity. To hear it, we need to be in solitude, even in crowded places.

The more you know the less you talk.

I am a big admirer of Sachin and his personality. He is a source of inspiration for the country and just looking at his photographs gives a lot of positive vibes.

There have been predictions that the world will come to an end on 21.12.12. But I look around me and I see so much scope for hope.

You can’t be without passion. Passion means the possessiveness to be the best.

I’m an actor. I can do whatever I want. As an actor, not everything has to be the most obvious choice. And sometimes, the best thing you can do is to defy expectations.

Even if we all want you here, you don’t belong until you decide you do.

Use the difficulties – if you can’t avoid them

Every so often, there is an article saying the old kind of talk show isn’t possible now. In the oldest kind of talk show, you only had the choice of that or two other channels!

I will not serve Allah like a laborer, in expectation of my wages.

Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.

If I was given the choice between having the world back and having you, I wouldn’t be able to give you up. Not to save five billion lives.

Don’t sit as if you have nothing to say. You should be bursting with things to say. You just choose at this particular place and time, not to say them.
