Be original and find your inner voice. The rest will follow.

All my life I have had a choice of hate and love. I chose love and I am here

I didn't see it coming at all. I just wanted to have this new experience with this team of Danny Boyle, Christian (Colson) and Simon (Beaufoy). It was like an excursion for me from my normal routine and the Indian movies I do and that helped.

Music is something that takes you to a world which is very different from the world of hatred,jealousy, and all those negative emotions

My biggest dream to connect people through music has come true. In a world where there are enough reasons to separate us, the Oscars have unified us.

Your inner voice is the voice of divinity. To hear it, we need to be in solitude, even in crowded places.

The more I compose, the more I know that I don't know it all. I think it's a good way to start. If you think you know it all, the work becomes a repetition of what you've already done.
