Bollywood actors are so set in what they want, and the way they want it. And why shouldn't they be? But it is not the same in Hollywood, because the love of the audience is not the same.

Never treat anything you do as a stepping stone. Do it fully, and follow it completely.

I've never sought to be on an A-list. I've done my own thing and my own thing has thankfully now brought me an audience.

I grew up in a very small town which is remote even by Indian standards. I always dreamed of the world.

What is really important to me is a sense of humour and a mischief about life. Life is just too boring otherwise.

I am an independent film-maker first and foremost. I have always cut my own cloth.
