I did theatre in the U.S. because there, content-wise, it's very light. In India, theatre tends to get preachy.

In Bollywood, people struggle because there is a new person joining every week, who joins an assembly line of people who are very replaceable. But if you are unique, you don't have to struggle that much.

I've been reading a lot of books on history, and watching a lot of educational TV. Wikipedia too, even though it is not reliable.

I am edgy, raw, offensive, vulgar, untruthful, but intelligent. My jokes are always realistic. I do not make fun of children or people who cannot fight back. That is my limitation.

In Bollywood, I think Boman Irani and Vinay Pathak are unbelievably good at comedy.

Women do come up to me after a show, but it's usually to say, 'Yhank you for making us laugh,' and all that.

Comedy is a live art, and the only way to record a comedy rock album is to do it live. The audience and their laughter is just as much a part of the album sound as our music. No retakes, no room for error.
