“The only fear I have is that I will wake up one day and nobody will allow me to do films. This is a fear every actor has.”

If people are looking forward to my films, then I am happy, and I must be doing something right.

I am a sports enthusiast, and if given an opportunity, I want to be a sportsman, even today. I want to promote the sport that is indigenous to India.

More often than not, we cater to the public perception.

There is one common thing in superstars – enthusiasm and humility towards their work.

However, there is a latent desire in most actors to do a role where you can go all out and experiment.

Kabaddi is a matter of national pride. Why can’t cricket, hockey, football and kabaddi be given equal platforms and co-exist? I believe that can happen.

The trade magazine and all was banned in my house. The first time I read a film magazine was when I was 18.

I’m an actor, paid to act. I don’t bring personal problems to the sets. Dad taught me that.

My films are of paramount importance to me, the same as my family. That’s not going to change. This is a balance I have to strike throughout my life.

My daughter is not an object to flash around or a prized item to put on display.

Just because I don’t show six-pack abs doesn’t mean that I don’t have them.

Off sets, they are big stars for others, and they carry themselves the way they want to. When they are working, they are not stars.

I feel that one of the hardest things in acting is the way you need to switch your emotions.

I like working on my birthday, so I always do.

I am not one of those people who will ever be comfortable mocking or making caricatures of the stereotypes attached to any community.

The best gift for an actor is the love of the fans. Many make sweet cards, write letters and even come and meet me wherever I am in India.

I steal from every movie ever made.

At the end of the day, honoring God leads to good things. Anything else leads to confusion, emotional exhaustion and a lack of good things.

Even if you are not ready for day it cannot always be night.

Control what you can control today!

Make a mental list of happy thoughts and pass them through your mind several times every day.

All too often, we spend our days waiting for the ideal path to appear in front of us. We forget that paths are made by walking, not waiting.

Motivation gets you through the day, but inspiration lasts a lifetime.

In real life there are no bad guys. Everybody just has their own perspective.
