I don't think you can force a moral opinion or you can force something through a Bollywood film.
-
I do endorse brands: brands that I believe in individually, brands that I use, brands that I am proud to sell. But I wouldn't do that for my films because that's something I do separately. What I do with my films is something I am extremely passionate about.
-
Half the time, people will be abusing me on Twitter, and half the time, somebody will be praising me. So either it will go to my head, or I will take it to my heart. So better I stay away from it.
-
I come from a background where money has never been an issue.
-
Promotions are the worst part of making a movie. We are actors and not salesmen. Still, you have to go to so many places to try and sell the movie.
-
People feel that I became an actor because I am from a film family and that my parents were actors. But actually, the only reason I wanted to become an actor was to get away from studies.
-
I am not trying to make an image; I am an actor trying to sell movies.
-
I'm not being really intelligent in my film choices; I'm just landing the opportunity when it comes.
-
Movies are a director's medium, and they end up getting less credit than actors. They get the flak if the movie doesn't do well, and the actor walks away with most of the credit if the film does well.
-
To be honest, I was born in luxury. I never saw the dearth of money, so money is not something which motivates me.
-
I am young enough to try my hands at all kinds of cinema.
-
I don't have any formula. I just work with my heart, putting in a lot of hard work.
-
I will never have a problem working with anybody. I will even work with a man if he dresses up like a woman, because it's my job. I am here to act.
-
I'm really close to my mother. She sacrificed a lot for me and my sister. She gave up her career. Whatever I am today is due to the values my mother instilled in me.
-
I don't think I can speak of the achievements of Indian cinema because it's so large next to me. It's not stopping. It's ever-growing. We are going towards the right direction. We are evolving as a filmmaking industry as actors, directors, producers, singers, musicians. Everybody just pushing the boundaries.
-
I believe that working with good people matters because then the work environment is good. If there is a sense of respect and belief among the people you work with, that is when good work is done.
-
To be honest, the core reason why I became an actor was that I didn't want to go to school. That's where it started. I hated opening my history books and my English books, but then, of course, you grow older. I went to film school in New York, and that's when you really realize that you have to grow up now. It's not child's play anymore.
-
What really matters is your movies and how good a person you are. Otherwise, tabloids and news channels writing about you only builds your curiosity and stardom and propels you to reach wider places.
-
As an actor, we always want people to write about us and talk about us. And when they are actually writing, then we say, 'Don't write about this.' I am an actor; I am a public property. I don't own myself; public owns me.
-
'Bombay Velvet' is my most romantic film, it's my 'Titanic' or 'Gone With The Wind.'
-
I myself am a great James Dean fan. He had this aura and enigma about him.
-
I am too insecure to crash early. I feel life will pass me by while I'm sleeping.
-
There is too much negativity on Twitter, and I want to stay from it. I don't have anything intelligent to say. Whatever I want to say, I will say it through my movies and interviews.
-
I'm actually pretty shy in real life. But I guess in front of the camera, I focus.
