“Am I a romantic? I’ve seen “Wuthering Heights” ten times. I’m a romantic.”

You grow up a bit damaged or broken then you have some success but you don’t know how to feel good about the work you’re doing or the life you’re leading.

Ugliness is better than beauty. It lasts longer and in the end, gravity will get us all.

Everything I’ve done has felt very natural, and it’s happened because it’s happened.

Love is not blind. It simply enables one to see things others fail to see.

You gotta be careful: don’t say a word to nobody about nothing anytime ever.

I think everybody’s weird. We should all celebrate our individuality and not be embarrassed or ashamed of it.

I think the thing to do is enjoy the ride while you’re on it.

The beauty, the poetry of the fear in their eyes. I didn’t mind going to jail for, what, five, six hours? It was absolutely worth it.

I’m not Blockbuster Boy.

Music touches us emotionally, where words alone can’t.

I hope someday to make you all a cup of coffee. Alright, peace.

When I see someone who just follows their dream and succeeds, and just does basically what they want to do and doesn’t have to answer to anyone, obviously not harming anyone, that’s great.

It’s only a bad day, not a bad life.

My body is my journal, and my tattoos are my story.

I am doing things that are true to me. The only thing I have a problem with is being labelled.

People in life, when they have a tendency to exaggerate or lie or whatever, you always sort of notice that their voice goes up quite high.

There was a lot of pressure on me when I signed ‘Dilwale,’ and though it did not do as well in India, overseas the business was crazy despite competition from another film.

After graduating, I began auditioning for films while continuing to model. I did a few fashion shows, ad shoots, and even got a few Bollywood offers, but nothing great.

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.

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!

Categorisation of actors has become outdated now.

A writer needs a pen, an artist needs a brush, but a filmmaker needs an army.
