“I am happy making the films I make and I would like the West to be impressed with what we do from India.”

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.

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.

To live is to dream, and to dream pleasantly is to be wise.

I have enjoyed earthly happiness, I have lived and loved.

Happy he who learns to bear what he cannot change.

Secrecy is for the happy,–misery, hopeless misery, needs no veil; under a thousand suns it dares act openly.

Whenever you notice your thoughts detour into attack mode, say out loud or to yourself: Happiness is a choice I make.

If you’re willing to take the humiliation of sticking your head above the crowd, maybe it’s, you know, the pleasure will be worth the pain.

When I look in the mirror, I see someone who’s happy with how he looks, because I was never one of the handsome Hollywood people. And I’ve had success as I’ve gotten older, because I’m able to play characters. I no longer get the girl, but I get the part.

Wealth makes an ugly person beautiful to look on and an incoherent speech eloquent; and wealth alone can enjoy pleasure even in sickness and can conceal its miseries.
