Even though I am fantastic looking, I am still quite intelligent.

I could lie and say my wife cooks for me, but she doesn't. My wife has never learnt cooking but she has great cooks at home.

More than an actor, I am a performer... I'm a great believer - honestly so, shamelessly so, vulgarly so - that cinema is for entertainment. If you want to send messages, there's the postal service.

Live now, live today - don't be bound by rules, live your own dream.

I work hard, like I'm sure everyone else does, and I'm very honest with the work I do.

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

Some people say,'Shah Rukh, you work so hard. Why don't you sit back with a glass of red wine or go out on the terrace for a smoke?' But that's not me.
