“Im running in a race and people are on the other track, I’m running with myself”

Sometimes you need to let people feel important by disliking you. It’s their little happiness.

I would want my children to grow up and do what they wish to in a field that they choose to step in. They should not have to use the shadow of their father’s name. I think that is a bit of a downer for a movie star’s children.

I don’t write cheques anymore because I end up signing them “with love, shah rukh”

I’ve won many awards and I want more. If you want to call it hunger then I’m hungry for awards.

My life may seem glamorous from the outside but off screen it’s as ordinary as anyone else’s.

I`d rather sink trying to be different, than stay afloat like everyone else.

Strength & Courage. Peace & Truth. Fertility & Growth. Life in Movement. My country stands for these values.

Like beauty, stardom too is skin-deep.

As long as there is pink in the world, it will always be a better place.

Yeah, I treat all my heroines like children now. I pick them up, I cuddle them, I call them baby.

More than an actor, I am a performer. I’m a great believer

Live now, live today – don’t be bound by rules, live your own dream.

Winning is only half of it, having fun the other half. Playing is All of it!!

When I asked Imran Khan for an autograph he picked up his bat to hit me.

There is only one religion in the world-hard work.

Success and failure are both part of life. Both are not permanent.

A woman is handicapped by her sex, and handicaps society, either by slavishly copying the pattern of man’s advance in the professions, or by refusing to compete with man at all.

Given the choice between accomplishing something and just lying around, I’d rather lie around. No contest.

I never think there’s any competition between films. I root for everybody’s films. I especially have a fond place in my heart for graphic novels and comics.

I think being a competitive diver for years helps you focus and dedicate yourself to what’s needed.

There are 16 year olds competing at the olympics and I still push on pull doors & struggle getting through the whole day without a nap.

And it was a great experience, you know, to travel the world and compete at a certain level. It teaches you discipline, focus, and certainly keeps you out of trouble.

Many manufacturers secretly question whether advertising really sells their product, but are vaguely afraid that their competitors might steal a march on them if they stopped.

Acting is not a competition; everything must be done for the good of the film or else everybody loses.
