“We had forgotten the art of using silence to convey emotions in our films and that’s what you seem to have mastered. You’ve used silence to great advantage in the film. It’s brilliant.”

It’s a war zone, my body, and one which has been through a great deal.

I am not as intelligent as Aamir Khan . I am barely managing to be in front of the camera. There are many people who know marketing well and surely Aamir knows much more than I do.

The world is no more what it was in the times of quiet love… Everything is called Status nowadays and it goes on the internet like a rule.

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.

Riding a Harley is a world of its own.

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!

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

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

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.

Poetry is – it’s an art form, but, to me, it’s also a weapon, it’s also an instrument. It’s the ability to make ideas that have been known, felt and said. And that’s a real, I think, type of duty for the poet.

I definitely think that fashion is a form of art and love that people can express themselves through what they wear.

Even though Prince wasn’t rapping and it was a whole different era, it shows how artists expressed themselves without saying too much, and that was the real beauty of the art.

The craft or art of writing is the clumsy attempt to find symbols for the wordlessness.

Wisdom is nothing but a preparation of the soul, a capacity, a secret art of thinking, feeling and breathing thoughts of unity at every moment of life.

There is an art of seeing things as they are: without naming, without being caught in a network of words, without thinking interfering with perception.

I am a typed director. If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach.

Real art has the capacity to make us nervous.
