I don't want to do romantic roles where I have to lip sync to a song. A role that explores romance on a new level would suit me.

What happens with every role, you have to trick yourself, you have to creatively find ways to explore the mental state of your character.

The sign of a good society is where talent is respected.

I cannot live anywhere else except India.

I want to entertain people, but with some substance.

Parsi theater was known for melodrama.

A nation needs to know how to utilise talent.

I can't think of a more pathetic situation for an actor than to do a film and not connect to it. And I pray to God that I never face that situation.

Maybe to become famous is to reassure yourself that whatever you're lacking inside, you've fulfilled that.

I've played many characters that have consumed me and owned me.

Language does not make one an elite.

The grace of God is joyous gladness.

Curiosity is the hunger of the mind.

The second level of prayer is seeking.

I could almost say it is my religion. I guess that sounds pretentious, but I want to live and breathe cinema.

I couldn't catch a ball or any of that stuff. I could do only what required brute stupidity.

Plain living and high thinking are no more. The homely beauty of the good old cause Is gone; our peace, our fearful innocence, And pure religion breathing household laws.
