“I’m not a big fan of western movies and I really don’t like cowboy-indian movies. I have never watched them.”

I’m sure drugs and alcohol perhaps would inspire new thoughts, but it’s certainly not something that I use as a tool or a mechanism to create.

I’m not good at future planning. I don’t plan at all. I don’t know what I’m doing tomorrow. I don’t have a day planner and I don’t have a diary. I completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future.

In the birthing process, you come out just realizing how stupid and weak men are! I mean, I might as well not have been in there, we’re useless!

I’m still a kid. I’m like six years old. But it’s just a matter of wanting to get up, it’s just a big journey. I felt like when I left home that I was on a journey, and I still am.

It’s rare that there’s a role that requires an Australian accent.

I like to see films that come out with lower budgets because you’re forced into using your imagination. You don’t have everything at your fingertips. You have to create it from scratch.

When I first started acting, I was just crap.

If you spend all day on horseback, and you hop off, you walk around like you still have a horse between your legs. And it affects your shoulders. They fall.

I like to set up obstacles and defeat them.

The reason that you dance and sing is to make the audience feel like they’re dancing and singing. As long as you’re having fun with it and giving it 100 percent, they’re gonna feel that.

I never want to feel like I’ve achieved my goal. It’s like Chinese farmers. They never admit that it’s a good season. They feel like they’ll be punished.

I generally don’t think most situations can be labeled as black or white.

It’s kind of a rule of thumb for me to self-doubt going into any kind of project. I always think that I shouldn’t be doing it and I don’t know how to do it and I’m going to fail and that I fooled them. I always try to find a way out.

If you are just safe about the choices you make, you don’t grow.

The Oscars are a really strange concept to me, that films and acting can be competing against each other. We’re not running the same race. It’s like we’re all doing different sports in fact.

In order not to hold a frame with someone, you have to be intimidated by them.

In my opinion, the biggest achievement was by Shankar-Jaikishan. With Raj Kapoor’s ‘Barsaat,’ they changed the way we looked at playback singing.

A biggest mistake I made when I started doing a talk show was I thought you had to read the books.

When a big tree falls, the ground shakes.

Little do women know what big ideas I have in my pants.

My big love was the Beatles. I was more into music.

I’m always gonna do my own thing. I wanna be something – whether I’m 19 years old working at a pet store, or I’m 19 years old with a No. 1 record – I wanna be the biggest I can be to my crowd, no matter what my crowd is.

But baby haven’t you ever had a dream so big you couldn’t fall asleep.

There’s always pressure on the second album – this one has to be the big one.
