“Sometimes I intentionally cut it off. I just want to be in silence, especially when I’m traveling. I watch movies without sound.”

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.

No regrets. There is no time for that. Regret is boring.

I wanted to be part of something bigger.

When I initially read the script, it goes inside and comes out different things even without commenting on any stuff. And then, those pieces are taken out and then spread out through the movie.

The search is more important than the destination.

In my case, dust has become gold: Today, I work with people I grew up admiring.

When you do something with a lot of honesty, appetite and commitment, the input reflects the output.

I was a common man, and I will always remain a common man. No amount of stardom will ever consume my soul. Money comes, money goes. Fame comes, fame goes. I believe every human being is a celebrity in their own right.

You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone, which can become a watered-down, occasional hope that you’ll get to tomorrow. Intention without action is useless.

Money is not good or evil. It has no morals or intentions on its own. Money reflects the character of the user.

You are a dynamic being of Light that at each moment informs the energy that flows through you. You do this with each thought, with each intention.

An intention is a quality of consciousness that you bring to an action.

A power struggle collapses when you withdraw your energy from it. Power struggles become uninteresting to you when you change your intention from winning to learning about yourself.

In our world, where hundreds of things distract us from God, we have to intentionally and consistently remind ourselves of Him.

I’ve changed the way I look a bit but not intentionally. I’ve cut my hair. I’ve got a bit of pink in it and lately I’ve become a bit monochrome, wearing a lot of black and white.

Every intention sets energy into motion Whether you are conscious of it or not.
