“I believe that whatever comes at a particular time is a blessing from God.”

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.

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

The search is more important than the destination.

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.

The idea of music is to liberate the listener and lead him to a frame where he feels he is elevated.

I love classical music. I love a lot of musicians playing together and the whole culture of that, whether it’s Indian or it’s Western.

Believing in him was the mistake that cost you so much of your life.

I love you the more in that I believe you had liked me for my own sake and for nothing else.

I believe that work if often the best antidote for grief.

I truly believe my job is to make sure people smile.

I believe in the institution of marriage and it’s like a tag to cement the relationship for your friends, family and public.

The man scarce lives who is not more credulous than he ought to be. The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough.

Believe in miracles but don’t depend on them.

I believe that cinema picks up ideas from society and not the other way round.
