“The best part about being a superstar is that you can wear the most outrageous of clothes and they say ‘it’s in!’”

I don’t use any techniques; I’m not trained to be an actor. I just enjoy working in films.

It’s nothing really. It’s the unique presentation that makes me look good in the action scenes. Why did I dare do them? That’s a funny question! Why do I act? Why do I breathe!

Everyone must accept that we will age and age is not always flattering.

The only person you have to face in the morning is yourself.

The select group of people who do make realistic cinema, who do make cinema perhaps a little more acceptable to the Western audience, is a very small percentage.

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

I am looking forward to going to Dubai because it gives us an opportunity to interact with each other. We can sit and enjoy each other’s company. We can go out for a walk without worrying about shooting schedules.

Stability a situation in which something is not likely to move or change.

An actor is a fool for God !

When you wait in the admired company of he that created it.

There are moments in a film when the written word for you, becomes the written word for the Universe.

When Shah Rukh stated, “Bhootnath… will be among the top three hits of the year!”, I told him, “Aapke moonh mein dudh, ghee, shakkar sab!

When your Son starts wearing your shoes and tells you which path to take he is no longer your Son he becomes your friend.

The Indian team does not need any best wishes – they are going to win anyway. I have been close to Sourav Ganguly, and I hope he does well in the World Cup.

Change is the nature of life but challenge is the future of life. So challenge the changes. Never change the challenges.

Donate and do not talk about it, they say you do nothing for the society; do and talk about it, they say you seek publicity!

Having secured my Indian actors, I started for Baltimore, where I organized my combination, and which was the largest troupe I had yet had on the road.

It’s a political and manipulative industry. Actors vie for the same roles, movies are snatched away. Have I ever been manipulated? Yes. But I haven’t manipulated anyone because if you think from the heart, you cannot be calculative. I have spent nights crying.

I can’t stand on the roadside and have Pani Puri like before. But, at the same time, being an actor makes you feel special. People look up to you, want to know more about you, and shower you with so much love without even knowing you personally. It’s overwhelming.

Frankly I’ve never really subscribed to these adjectives tagging me as an ‘icon’, ‘superstar’, etc. I’ve always thought of myself as an actor doing his job to the best of his ability.

I do believe that an actor, who is self aware, will never do a film that is not an extension of his personality.

It is a common perception that actors don’t get along.

Categorisation of actors has become outdated now.

Actors are greedy. They can never be satisfied. I want praise as well as box office returns.
