A nation needs to know how to utilise talent.

You cannot reduce the power of story with the tag of money because it's not a share market. So you must know the seriousness of the power of storytelling.

I've played many characters that have consumed me and owned me.

I am not ready to fit into the mould of commercial cinema.

I cannot live anywhere else except India.

Hollywood isn't ready for an Indian leading man.

I don't want to do romantic roles where I have to lip sync to a song. A role that explores romance on a new level would suit me.

It surely gives you a high to be an international actor with quality work.

When you come out of the theatre and you don't even talk about that film or remember it, then it disappoints me.

In India, therapy is not part of the culture; it has not become such a big need.

I want to entertain people, but with some substance.

Cinema is changing every week, and multiplex audiences are demanding every week.

Maybe to become famous is to reassure yourself that whatever you're lacking inside, you've fulfilled that.

Language does not make one an elite.

The sign of a good society is where talent is respected.

Maybe to become famous is to reassure yourself that whatever you’re lacking inside, you’ve fulfilled that.

Izzat aur Zillat aap ke haath mein nahi hai!

It’s always an inner wish of every actor to reach out to maximum audiences.

The day I become conventional, something inside me will die.
