I was offered to play an Italian part in an Italian film. Although I could not take it up because I did not have the time, the kind of characters being offered to us are changing.
-
I don't see a full-fledged career in Hollywood. I am happy with the cameos. Even Tom Cruise will only do special appearances in our films; he wouldn't do a full hero movie. But it's good to act in different cinema.
-
I have never really had a goal to be a true blue movie star, unlike a lot of my colleagues.
-
I am learning the grammar of acting on the sets. And I am happy that way.
-
I love 'My Beautiful Laundrette' and 'Dangerous Liaisons.'
-
I have always felt that just to show love, you don't have to make two people do intimate scenes. That is not the idea of 'I love you.'
-
Scripts and directors make great actors, not the other way around.
-
People think that theatre helps, but in my case, it slowed me down. I had to unlearn everything when I went on to a film set.
-
We have to keep pace with changing times.
-
Theatre is like an actor's nectar, like how cinema is a director's medium.
-
We can't stop people from thinking what they want to.
-
The better the actor I am acting with, the better my performance gets.
-
There is good and there is bad, and then there are mothers.
-
My first preference is Bollywood and will always be.
-
I am humbled at the fact that I always get great support and reviews from my critics, but it's the film that requires to be good enough for it to work.
-
Mahesh Bhatt has changed me a lot. I used to be very held back with my words. He has made me open up. He has taught me how to say what comes to my mind, just as he does.
-
I am seldom home, as I keep travelling because of work.
-
I want to settle down.
-
In Bollywood, the film's stakes are as high as the actor. In Hollywood, they are way above, and the day we realise this in our industry, we will start appreciating actors.
-
I was shooting for 'Bobby Jasoos' when I was offered 'Khamoshiyan.'
-
Judi Dench, apart from the name and fame, is the most genuinely hilarious, sophisticated, and loving person I have known. And I mean all of that together at once. That's something.
-
I return to the stage time and again to see if I am worth anything.
-
I got a chance to work with Judi Dench in almost every scene. How many Indian actors get that chance?
-
For someone who works in theatre, the rehearsal is where you discover everything. It is where magic happens, where the script enters you and becomes part of you.
