I'm not a hero or a superstar. I'm an everyday guy. I feel happy when children approach me. I feel that something good is happening in life when little kids recognise me.

I'm an actor, and I don't look at myself as providing comic relief. I have done diverse and dark roles such as a psycho, murderer, and others in films such as 'Don', 'Eklavya' and '3 Idiots.'

My theory is children don't do what you tell them to do, they do what you do. You have to always do the right thing because they follow you.

One can understand a person by the way he removes his wallet and puts his hand to take out money.

I don't have a father, but my kids tell me every day that they love me... even when I am not in my best mood.

I don't mind being identified as any character as long as I'm doing a good job as an actor. I have done all kinds of roles - from an editor, judge, police officer, murderer to a corrupt businessman.

Our film industry as well as the audiences are now open to unconventional pairings and subjects, which has aided my journey greatly.

I am very proud to be a part of '3 Idiots,' and happy that the character has worked in a big way.

When I was child, I never spoke. Teacher used to write remarks on my note book. My mom sent me to a trainer. I started talking, and it gave me confidence.

Anything worthy is worth the fight!

The harsh reality will be the fear that has always been at the back of your mind coming to play right in front of your eyes

Give a bull grass, sweet water and a willing heifer and he is happy. But a man is never content. If no gadflies of worry exist he will invent them.

The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself in every way he can, never suspecting that anybody wishes to hinder him.

My dad had a very difficult life, a hard struggle all the time at work. I've always felt like I'm seeking his revenge.

To achieve great things, we must first dream.

We should exhibit no self doubt to our friends, ... Credibility is a strategic asset.

As a Republican, I am all for competition.

When torrential water tosses boulders, it is because of its momentum. When the strike of a hawk breaks the body of its prey, it is because of timing.

Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed. Teach me to die.
