I've had very little sex. I like my Scotch, but I've never been drunk.

I haven't any close friends. Friendship needs time to interact, sit down, gossip. I don't have that time.

I think the sense of belonging does give you a certain amount of mental satisfaction.

[Sex] is of real interest to every human being and so why gloss over it, and it's fun, it's interesting, it has so many dimensions.

Nature provides that a man who slaves all day should spend the hours of the night in a palace full of houris whereas a king who wields the sceptre by day should have his sleep disturbed by nightmares of rebellion and assassination.

Friends meddle with my plan of work. I resent people dropping in for a chat.

I was under police security for 15 years because I was on their hit-list. I opposed Khalistan because I thought it would be suicide for the Sikh community to demand a separate state, and they heard me because they knew I was one of them. I think I turned round at least the intelligent Sikh's point of view and that gave me enormous satisfaction.
