I bring excitement on the sets. I'm an exciting actor, overrated, exaggerated. But I'm not an unexciting actor. I excite people. I never lose hope. If I feel that a film is going wrong somewhere, I do even better.

After I began working, I realised there's no end line. I believe that money has nothing to do with your personal success. On the face of it, I'm the biggest capitalist of all. I have all the riches. I'm the living proof of what stardom should be in material terms. But I've never sold my soul. I've not done anything which I didn't want to do. I've not done films for money. I'm not saying this with arrogance but I've never asked for a film.

There's a personal me, there's an actor me and there's a star me.

I've won many awards and I want more. If you want to call it hunger then I'm hungry for awards.

Success and failure are both part of life. Both are not permanent.

Don't become a philosopher before you become rich.

I have lived in Mumbai for more than 20 years, have my domicile here, my home and family here.
