“I like death. I’m a big fan of it.”

If you find a TV series that you like, you like the tone of the TV series or the movie.

I am relatively familiar with getting a good old rumping from the critics. In some cases, the critics just didn’t like the film – fair cop. Others, I think, didn’t understand it.

Sugar is responsible for a lot of deaths. Arguably more than crack cocaine.

I live on a bicycle, I live in central London, probably 90 percent of my travel is done on a bicycle. I love bicycles.

Brad [Pitt], poor geezer, was blown up, thrown around, burned, slapped, frozen. But never a moan or a whine. Now that’s what I call a real star.

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.
