“Right now we have an economy in trouble, and someone who spent their career in the economy is more suited to help fix the economy than someone who spent his life in politics and as a community organizer.”

Internationally, President Obama has adopted an appeasement strategy. He believes America’s role as leader in the world is a thing of the past. I believe a strong America must – and will – lead the future.

If people are looking for someone who has never changed their mind and is unwilling to admit they make mistakes, that’s not me.

We believe in individual initiative, personal responsibility, opportunity, freedom, small government, the Constitution. These principles, these American principles are key to getting our economy back to being successful and leading the world.

If you want to serve the country, you recognize it’s rough and tumble. And it’s nothing like serving your country in the military.

My doctrine is as I’ve described, which is confidence in our cause, clarity in our purpose, and resolve in our might.

You don’t have to be larger than life to be a hero, just larger than yourself.

Donald Trump trying to do to the American voter what he did to the people that signed up for this course: He’s making promises he has no intention of keeping.

We have a president, who I think is a nice guy, but he spent too much time at Harvard, perhaps.

Opportunity expands when there is excellence and choice in education, when taxes are lowered, when every citizen has affordable, portable health insurance and when constitutional freedoms are preserved.

Christianity is not the faith of the complacent, the comfortable or of the timid. It demands and creates heroic souls.

That said, your values will not always be the object of public admiration. In fact, the more you live by your beliefs, the more you will endure the censure of the world.

That the policies – from energy to labor policies, trade policies, government policies relating to debt and deficits are all aligning in such a way that America, far from being one of the places people are running from, is a place people are going to come to and add jobs.

What you believe, what you value, how you live – matters.

What we have, what we wish we had – ambitions fulfilled, ambitions disappointed, investments won, investments lost, elections won, elections lost – these things may occupy our attention, but they do not define us.

We’ve got to strengthen our military long-term. We don’t know what the world is going to throw at us down the road.

I’m not running, I’m not planning on running, and I’ve got nothing new on that story.

When you are bigger than your purpose you have a career. When your purpose is bigger than you, you have a calling.

I come from a family of working professionals: my dad is a chartered accountant, and my mom is a professor.

Well Mandira, I hope not. You see, I started both their careers. And as far as I can remember, I started yours too.

I was clear about the fact that my first film should be ‘big,’ since it’s the start of your whole career graph.

I have never really been confident about my career at any stage.

My career is too short for there to be any turns! But I would say that not everyone is noticed and accepted in their debut films. I was accepted both by the industry and the audience.

All my life, I have been a failure. A failure when I dropped out of college, A failure when I started my career. A failure when I wrote a book, A failure when my business closed down but, a failure to others, not to myself. And, you can also turn your failures into success, just like I did!

My biggest concern is always the students who are working toward a certain career – when they limit themselves to just that one option. They need to know that the world is huge – it’s an ocean, and there are so many options. It’s not the end of the world if they don’t get to pursue an apparent childhood dream.
