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

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.

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

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.

Boredom is not an illness but a symptom of an illness. Work defies boredom.

Repetition not for monotony but the ecstasy it induces.
