I would really love to work with Clint Eastwood.

Contrary to the royal and uptight image of polo, I want to bring it to a younger generation. This is a great sport that can have a larger audience and appeal to more people. Sportsmanship is lacking in many other sports that I don't want to name.

My family is my biggest critic. Since they come from a non-filmi background, they give me an audience's point of view. They have been very supportive of me.

Theatre is great, but we don't live in an idealistic world, and we have to pay our bills.
Randeep Hooda -
I wouldn't mind going half naked on stage, if that is what my role demands.

At the end of the day, an actor is only a cog in the wheel.

I'm going to be acting all my life. But, while doing that, I will try to avoid the trappings of fame.
Randeep Hooda -
Stardom happens - you can't plan it - it's destiny, and you shouldn't stand between you and your destiny. I'm letting my destiny play its part, and I go by my gut feeling. If I like my role, I say yes; if I don't, I just refuse, as simple as that.

In 2010, I sold my car, a Toyota Majester, for just a lakh-and-a-half to be able to feed my horses. It continues to be like a hole, where I put all my money.
Randeep Hooda -
You can't get angry with a horse. They will get angry and frisky with you.

There is a sense of purity in theatre which always attracts me. Deep down, I feel I am more of an artist than a commodity, which Bollywood turns you into. I want to strike a balance.

I give two hoots about being typecast. It's not in my hands.
Randeep Hooda -
I'm just happy that people have recognised me as leading man material.

I find solace in animals. I have got a stray dog at home called Candy. I picked it up while I was waiting at the airport one day. I always wanted to have a 'macho' dog but got this sweet little thing instead.

I don't play the role of a villain, really, but I like playing anti-hero kind of roles. I like characters where there's conflict, drama, and more personal investment than just being heroes.

I would often take this bus and go to a nearby village where I had hordes of animal friends. I was hardly around four or five years old then. The conductor was so used to seeing me hop on to the bus and get down at the same place, that he never asked any questions. The strangest part is, he never asked for a ticket either!

February days are a marketing gimmick; love happens every day.

A Bollywood hero, for most people, has been a Raj, a Rahul or a Prem... it's now a part of the psyche.

Though I thoroughly enjoyed playing crime branch officer Gautam Savant, it drained a lot out of me, too. It shook my faith in myself, as I explored my hidden side and wondered if I was just acting or using the character as an excuse to vent my mean side.
Randeep Hooda -
I wouldn't mind doing a film revolving around horses, but I wouldn't dilute my equity just sitting on one.

It is easy to bare your body, but it is difficult to bare your soul. What works for me is that I am not a city-raised boy with city-raised sensibilities. I can play the vulnerable tough man, the guy with a gun in his hand, tears in his eyes, fire in his heart, innocence in him, and in his arms a woman he loves.
Randeep Hooda -
Love is a strange emotion. It is ever evolving. Lust is transient. With time, one realizes that love and togetherness are two different things. Very few people are lucky enough to experience the two emotions simultaneously.
Randeep Hooda -
There is an interaction and action, reaction between two people. One should show honesty in a relationship. Be honest to your partner and tell him everything. How long can you do things with dishonesty and that's wrong. Don't get into a relationship if you can't be honest.
Randeep Hooda -
The truth is that I've always wanted to be an actor, ever since I was a child. I used to see these English movies which were shown to us in our school every Saturday, and then I used to enact the hero's part in my head.
