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

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.

The experience of life consists of the experience which the spirit has of itself in matter and as matter, in mind and as mind, in emotion, as emotion, etc.

I think it would have been a lot better for him to say, I did it and I'm sorry, McGwire was never one to show a lot of emotion on the field, not a player who sought attention and craved to be thought of as a nice guy.

In fact, words are well adapted for description and the arousing of emotion, but for many kinds of precise thought other symbols are much better.

To be a character who feels a deep emotion, one must go into the memory's vault and mix in a sad memory from one's own life.

A person cannot love a plant after he has pruned it, then he has either done a poor job or is devoid of emotion.

I think we actually punish children out of their relationship with their bodies... we categorically separate mind and body and emotion and intellect.

And if thought and emotion can persist in this way so long after the brain that sent them forth has crumpled into dust, how vitally important it must be to control their very birth in the heart, and guard them with the keenest possible restraint.

My job is usually to express emotion as freely as possible.

People think love is an emotion. Love is good sense.

I have the ability to sing with emotion and feeling, but if you say I sound like Billie Holiday, that's cool. Let's look at who Billie was: she was this person, this singer, this beautiful diva who could move the audience with the slightest gesture of her hand.

I often start writing in order to excite an expansive emotion.

I tried to have more than one emotion on the record.

I have lived too completely, I think. I have known every human emotion.

I'm an actor who believes we all have triggers to any stage of emotion. It's not always easy to find but it's still there.

Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.

It is impossible for emotion not to come on us in thinking of that time now flowed away.

I will try to account for the degree of my aesthetic emotion. That, I conceive, is the function of the critic.

I'm singing what I want to sing based on the emotion of what that day feels like. That's what comes out of my mouth and guitar. That impacts people. They know anything can happen.

Learn to reverence night and to put away the vulgar fear of it, for, with the banishment of night from the experience of man, there vanishes as well a religious emotion, a poetic mood, which gives depth to the adventure of humanity.

As you follow the escapades or the journey of the hero through a story, it evokes some kind of emotion in the viewers. The director's job is to make sure that the audience goes through the journey and has an emotional reaction.

I do not literally paint that table, but the emotion it produces upon me.

The figure is still the only thing I have faith in in terms of how much emotion it's charged with and how much subject matter is there.
