“I could lie and say my wife cooks for me, but she doesn’t. My wife has never learnt cooking but she has great cooks at home.”

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.

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.

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

Awards that ignore me are losers.

It’s in my interest, in ours perhaps, or maybe the interests of the greater good, for me to smoke a joint, and calm down.

My mom was a teacher – I have the greatest respect for the profession – we need great teachers – not poor or mediocre ones.

We seldom get into trouble when we speak softly. It is only when we raise our voices that the sparks fly and tiny molehills become great mountains of contention.

Those we most love cause us not only great joy but also great pain. LOVE is stronger than fear, life stronger than death, hope stronger than despair. We have to trust that the risk of loving is always worth taking.

You will come to know that what appears today to be a sacrifice will prove instead to be the greatest investment that you will ever make.

I spent my whole life helping my mother carry around her psychic trunks like a bitter bellhop. So a great load was lifted when she died, and my life was much easier.

A great brand is a story that never stops unfolding.

The greatest act of courage is to be and to ownall of who you are – without apology, without excuses, without masks to cover the truth of who you are.
