I have never pressurized a producer to do me any favor.

You see, I have many friends in the Hindi film industry.

I have never pressurized a producer to do me any favor.

You are probably right when you say that I could get a role in any producer's film if I just asked.

The average Englishman has no idea of the dynamism in the music scene here.

I'm not the sort to wallow in nostalgia about the good old days.

Men are like mascara, they run at the slightest display of emotion.

I also said, men are like curling irons, they never get out of your hair. And they are like government bonds, they take so long to mature.

Delhi is my emotional home. I still dream of owning a home there.

I love the stage, I love the process of acting in theatre, but unfortunately, it doesn't pay the bills.

I am going to produce a movie of my own. I am not going to stick to the time-tested formulae of Hindi cinema. I want to make a film for the present generation. So there will be a lot of new faces in the film.

Acting is the most insecure profession in the world - you're insecure if you're successful, you're insecure if you're not. A tightrope walk without a net. It's a miracle I'm still standing!

Acting was merely a pastime; I wanted to make films. But theatre, ah - now that was a labour of love. Can there be anything better than performing without retakes and cuts, in front of people you can see, hearing them breathe in the darkness of the hall?

Every relationship comes with a shelf life; that duration could be a minute or even a lifetime. If, for whatever reasons, a relationship cannot last a lifetime, contrary to what the two people imagined, then both the individuals have to be communicative and have to understand and accept the reality.

Everything has a place and time.

Honestly, I'm willing to experiment with far more variety in roles than I'm given. But ultimately, it's the producer's decision. But, I've done a variety of roles - the evil don, the evil husband... I've done villainous roles, supporting roles, etc.

I adore 'The Chipmunks.'

I don't believe in murder.

I have the greatest love for the rituals of organised religion - the sense of community and belonging it can confer to people. But me, I'm more a questioner than a follower; not by whim or fashion, but as a decision painfully arrived at after much, much thought.

I turned into a monk when my mother went to learn Buddhism in Burma. While she learnt at the monastery, I used to roam around with a begging bowl and ask for food.

I'm an international actor, but at the same time, I'm also a Bollywood actor, even though most of my career has been abroad. However, I've always kept in touch with Hindi cinema.

I'm constantly complimented for my voice, even by random people at the airport!

I've dubbed for my roles in Hindi, English, and Italian. Therefore, I'm used to the process. But, dubbing is hard, especially when you are dubbing for a prominent actor.

In the 30 years of my career, I have explored all possible mediums, except radio.

Love is a beautiful feeling.

Love just happens, you know.

Vamps no longer exist. Stars have taken their roles.

If I have a meeting or need to look more done up, the thing I can always do is a cat eye.

Yes, but I think the big thing for everyone is to wear what they want and what suits them.

I've gotten very good at detaching whenever I have to go away for three months, which I realize is hard on friends and kind of selfish.

Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning.

We are three countries that emerged from the former Yugoslavia - countries that are now in transition and must cooperate with each other, because our economies depend on each other.

I've written fiction for as long as I can remember; it's always been my preferred form of play.

The fan is the one who suffers. He cheers a guy to a .350 season then watches that player sign with another team. When you destroy fan loyalties, you destroy everything.

The first time at Louis Vuitton was Spring 2009 season, and I remember that the colors of the clothes were very dreamy.

Poetry and music are very good friends. Like mommies and daddies and strawberries and cream - they go together.

Let me first state that I believe that marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman.

I learned from a very young age that if I pursued the things that truly excited me, that they would reward in more important ways, like happiness.

The amount of energy saved by switching off the phone charger is exactly the same as the energy used by driving an average car for one second.

I never approach a character from a negative place.

Normally I sleep for 9, 10 hours a night.

It's all well and good to say that Germans were all responsible for the concentration camps, but I don't think they were. I think that was the work of a small group of fiends.

A fighter lives in his training camp, and I'm not always paying attention to what is happening on the outside. But I do know the Mexican people and the Mexican-American people in this country are very hard-working people. That's my only comment about Donald Trump.

It's very important to prioritize. I know, for me, my family comes first. That makes every decision very easy.

In a healthy economy, empowering, sustaining and efficiency innovations operate in balance. A healthy economy creates and sustains more jobs before squeezing out inefficiencies.

All you need to know is that it’s possible.

My father's music was influential. My place is my place. I must be myself and who I am.

Only by much searching and mining, are gold and diamonds obtained, and man can find every truth connected with his being, if he will dig deep into the mine of his soul.

A party full of 'likeable' people doesn't bear contemplating.
