You never win the silver, you only lose the gold.

You train. You fight. You succeed. Then do it all over again.

I’m too shy to do kissing scenes.

It’s not that I wear fantastic clothes, it’s just that clothes look fantastic on me.

I learnt very early in life that whenever there is a choice between peace of mind and piece of ass, go for the former.

Whenever you’re feeling down. And I am not around let the sight of me be the reason you smile.

I don’t teach my children what is Hindu and what is Muslim.

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

Whenever you’re feeling down. And I am not around let the sight of me be the reason you smile.

It’s okay to be confused. Confusion is the route to all the clarity in the world.

I had another dream the other day about music critics. They were small and rodent-like with padlocked ears, as if they had stepped out of a painting by Goya.
