I prefer if friends come over to my office and we talk our heart out over a cup of coffee. I feel that no one talks freely at industry bashes. Everyone has to behave in a certain way, and I think no one is real there. We can't have heart-to-heart conversations, and I start feeling uncomfortable at such dos.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui -
I am a five-foot six-inch, dark, ordinary-looking man. People didn't imagine that I would make it.

I found the brick-making process fascinating - how, after being burnt, the brick would come out strong. I liked to sit on the stack of bricks and look as far as I could. I'd do the same at a hillock near my school - just sit on top at leisure and enjoy the feeling of being on top of the world.

Only heroes get stereotyped. As they do the same kind of roles again and again.

Background scores allow me an absolute flight of the imagination, and I travel in my mind's eye. I do not like the scores to have vocal notes, because they act as a limitation to these flights of fancy.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui -
I believe everyone is mad when they are in love, and I don't think that can ever end.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui -
At first, I was hesitant when it came to giving autographs, thinking that I am not even worth giving one. But slowly I got over that phase.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui -
I have done theatre, and I enjoy the process of smaller films a lot more. When I do such films, there are certain things which I get to do which are untapped. The scenes give me the liberty to play and mould the character in accordance to the director's mindset.

If one line about the film excites me, I try to take it forward.

There are thousands of ways to make people laugh - satire, black comedy, slapstick.
