“The only person I have hurt is myself.”

Turn your nightmares into your dreams , some dreams don’t turn out the way you want them to , then wake up and turn and turn it around in your favour.

I am not born to just become an actor.

If the film is a hit then everyone shares the success. If it is going to be a disaster then it might as well be because of me, not because of somebody else.

Don’t throw out buzz words without really knowing what is going on behind it.

For me acting, comes straight from the heart. In that sense I don’t act at all. I think that to feel the character’s pain I have to be myself. Somewhere audiences see that.

Shah Rukh is not my girlfriend that I should remember him. When I don’t remember my past girlfriends, what will I remember Shah Rukh for?

There are people who want awards because it changes the perception of the audience. But I’m not into all that.

Why should I marry? One marries to have children, but I already have children! My nieces and nephews are my children.

Have you seen a duck gliding smoothly on water? Does it ever look like it is paddling furiously underneath the surface? I don’t have to show that I am working very hard.

A lion runs the fastest when he is hungry.

Any film is about heroism: the triumph of good over evil. If you look back at my films, you will see that as a recurring theme.

Now at 47, 48 I am expected to do ten times better work that I did when I was 24.

Style is something very individual, very personal, and in their own unique way, I believe everyone is stylish.

There are actors who can pull of a writer’s lines; I am not competent enough to do that.

I can get caught in many things but there is one thing I will never get caught in, and that is acting – because I don’t act. On screen I am like I am in real life.

I don’t go out anywhere. I don’t go to nightclubs, so meeting somebody in the nightclub is out of question.

Anger is a poison. It eats us inside. We think when we hate someone we hurt them, but hatred is a curved blade, and the harm we do to others we also do to ourselves.

Figure out what makes you laugh, and do more of it. Figure out what makes you cry, and do less of it.

Don’t let the hurt of today blind you to the hope of tomorrow. Disappointment ushers in a new appointment.

Don’t put your life on hold so that you can dwell on the unfairness of past hurts.

Missing you is the cruelest thing I could do to my heart, and maybe that’s why I do it: its easier to hurt myself than love myself.

You told me everything would be okay. I wish you had said – you’ll hurt but I’ll hold you.

If you were meant to cure cancer or write a symphony or crack cold fusion and you don’t do it, you not only hurt yourself, even destroy yourself. You hurt your children. You hurt me. You hurt the planet.

A cold heart hurts you the most.
