Nawazuddin Siddiqui is the best actor because his choice of roles are so diametrically opposite from each other, and he pulls it off almost every time so convincingly.

I was a studious child, heavily into academics. For the longest time, I wouldn't talk.

I am not saying that those who crave for conventional stardom are wrong in their aspirations. But that's not what I want.

If you have skills to pull off even a four-hour film, people will go and watch it.

Every character that I've chosen has made me evolve as an actor. And I am lucky that my directors have shown so much faith in my abilities.

I've been a fan of Dhoni for years. I've seen him play for India for over 10 years.

When I am in front of the camera or on stage, I am not me.

If you are seeing something for the first time, one of your first reactions should be fascination.

As an actor, you think you know your craft, you know the conflicts in your character, but often you don't.

I was offered 10-12 films during the time that we were working on 'Paani.'

Frankly, I'm an actor right now because of Shah Rukh. When I was in school and even when studying engineering, I used to watch his films.

When I was in the eighth standard, I would dance to 'Suraj hua madham.' I have to achieve many things before I become even the 'S' of SRK.

I despise women wearing too much makeup. It hides their actual beauty.

I never think about what people will think when they watch me on screen.

I read the script. If I like it, I would do anything I am asked to.

I experienced a lot of things while I was working with Dibakar Banerjee.

You can't make two films at the same time.

I am not a private person; you can ask those who hang out with me.

I will continue doing things irrespective of the medium as long as I'm excited about it.
