“Success is not a good teacher, failure makes you humble.”

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.

Whether people like it or not, my marketing thought is if you keep something in front of people for too long, they get used to it.

The dreams I chased took me on a journey, a journey more rewarding than the goals.

I know it’s very idealistic and utopian, but I believe we need to just let everyone not be judged in terms of religion, groups or nations or region.

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

My favorite dish is tandoori chicken.

You never really understand your personality, unless you have a Mini Me who acts the same way

Yes I have made a lot of money and I have a lot of respect, my films have done well, and I know there are loads of loads of people who look up to me and really love me. I really just thought this is like a strange dream. I have never thought this is a success – I don’t have a standard.

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

One thing I teach my children and want everyone to know that even if you happen to be on a pedestal you should have the capacity to turn around and say, ‘I don’t know’. We are scared to go wrong. Downfall is part of life.

It is so strange – if anyone takes my name, I have the ability to make them famous.

Awards that ignore me are losers.

Beautiful homes are made by beautiful home makers.

I do believe that an actor, who is self aware, will never do a film that is not an extension of his personality.

Don’t know when my passion became my purpose and then turned into my profession.

In nothing do we fail more, as a Mission, than in lack of tact and politeness.

Suffering, failure, loneliness, sorrow, discouragement, and death will be part of your journey, but the Kingdom of God will conquer all these horrors. No evil can resist grace forever.

It is an unfortunate human failing that a full pocketbook often groans more loudly than an empty stomach.

It’s not necessary to fear the prospect of failure but to be determined not to fail.

Because (grandparents) are usually free to love and guide and befriend the young without having to take daily responsibility for them, they can often reach out past pride and fear of failure and close the space between generations.

And it seems to me important for a country, for a nation to certainly know about its glorious achievements but also to know where its ideals failed, in order to keep that from happening again.

Failure is a fuel for excuses.

Many souls fail to find God because they want a religion which will remake society without remaking themselves.
