Since I worked with Danny Boyle before on Slumdog Millionaire, we have great success and everything. So, when I first got the script and the screenplay of Simon (Beaufoy) and I was reading it, even before the shoot, some kind of sounds came into my mind and I put some stuff [down] and sent it to Danny when he was cutting the movie.

After a point of time, when you get success and fame, money and everything, the purpose of life has to be redefined. For me, I think that purpose is to build bridges. Artists can do that very easily, more than politicians.

Success comes to those who dedicate everything to their passion in life. To be successful, it is also very important to be humble and never let fame or money travel to your head.

There have been predictions that the world will come to an end on 21.12.12. But I look around me and I see so much scope for hope.

If music wakes you up, makes you think, heals you...then, I guess the music is working.

I believe that whatever comes at a particular time is a blessing from God.

I wanted to be part of something bigger
