Indian civilisation does not distinguish in terms of religion. We are an impossible achievement in the world and I'm very proud to be an Indian.

You know, I think we Indians are afraid to show and celebrate our happiness, lest things change around. But I feel that it's okay to be sad and okay to show when you are happy.

I learnt very early in life that whenever there is a choice between peace of mind and piece of ass, go for the former.

I am happy making the films I make and I would like the West to be impressed with what we do from India.

I am not insecure enough to count the bouquets I receive on my birthday, I don't assess my popularity by the number of magazine covers I am on, I don't get worried if my song is on the seventh position on countdown charts.

I am not confident unless I am playing someone else.

Life begins when we decide it's going to begin for us.
