“I think I’m even more open and more giving as a father now. I pay more attention now because I value it more and I’m less caught up with my career.”

There are, I think, three countries left in the world where I can go and I’m not as well-known as I am here. I’m a pretty big star, folks – I don’t have to tell you. Superstar, I guess you could say.

I always question whether it’s the right time for anything I do.

When you think about where are you going to find that big love of your life, you seldom think it’s someone you already know. You think it’s someone you’re yet to meet.

I mean, look, I wear makeup in films. I don’t wear makeup in real life. It’s just part of the gig, that’s all.

You can’t undo the past but you can certainly not repeat it.

There is nothing better than strolling down the beach the way God made you.

Too many children in foster care are falling through cracks. Be a hero, take the time learn about adoption today.

Your kids need your love and attention, and being able to devote myself to them is very fulfilling. As I get older, spending time with my daughters makes things much easier. You learn to put your ego aside.

I think that there are a lot of law enforcement officers out there who work according to their own set of what is right and what is wrong. And that doesn’t always include respect for administration cops, you know, people that are higher up the food chain.

At 25, you’ve got millions of brain cells to kill.

I believe in justice, and I believe in people being held responsible for their actions.

It doesn’t matter how many people I’ve killed. What matters is how I get along with the people who are still alive.

All the films are hits before you turn the camera on. It’s only in the execution that they fail. I’ve been less than happy with the way a couple of films were edited, but it’s a director’s prerogative and you gotta go with it.

There’s a long history of all kinds of cop films… But all these films are really about the same thing: the good guys triumphing over the bad guys.

Everybody, no matter how old you are, is around 24, 25 in their heart.

I just have more fun when I get to try new things – and the action film genre has kind of painted itself into a corner, copied itself so many times and it has basically run out of bad buys.

You get an image in the first couple of years of your career, and then whether you like it or not, you are stuck with it for the rest of your life.

Early on in my career, I was more closed off in every way. I thought I was protecting myself; instead, I was robbing myself of all I could learn and experience.

In a cricket career, your life is in some ways controlled for you. You have no control over schedules, you have no control about where you want to play, you don’t have control over that as a cricketer.

There are those who build careers and companies just out of being popular on Instagram, but theres nothing behind them.

Fame, do I like it? No. It has bought a lot for me in my career, but there are a lot of downsides to it. You give up your privacy. I did it to myself but not to my family and friends. You don’t ask for it. You just have to live with it.

I mean, my music career and my acting career – if I want to do them to the extent that I eventually do want to get to, it’s going to be a bit of a balancing act. But I’m hoping they’ll just go hand in hand.

When I structured my career, I looked at Muhammad Ali, which is my all-time favorite and an idol of mine, and what he has done for this sport. He was a real-life hero.

Dilbar’ is very close to me. It was a turning point in my career.
