“There’s a personal me, there’s an actor me and there’s a star me.”

I work like a retailer. I sell my services, take my money and keep it in the bank.

Dreamers are good. But if those dreams are not given a direction they mean nothing.

If I talk to a girl, it’s assumed that I’m having a scene with her. If I don’t, then it’s assumed that I’m gay.

I don’t drink, fight & womanise. I am not a wife beater. I don’t do nude covers. I don’t have a 12-inch long you know what … I am quite boring.

If you ask that question again ma’am, I will have to ask you your age.

Some people say,’Shah Rukh, you work so hard. Why don’t you sit back with a glass of red wine or go out on the terrace for a smoke?’ But that’s not me.

Everyone has their own way of expressing happiness.

Nothing beautiful happens without struggle.

I love being recognized, I love people liking me, I love the fact that people scream when I go out. I think I’ll miss all that when it’s taken away.

Your feelings are your Super powers.

It is not special to be special, it’s special to be ordinary.

There is no right time and right place for love, it can happen any time.

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.
