I take acting lessons with my coach, and what do I get famous for? Holding a puppy!

I barely leave my cage, my house.

I started out in 1985, and I was Inmate #1 in every prison movie made from '85 to '93.

See, what I don't like listening to is when writers go, 'And then the person cries.' 'Or the person does this.' It's there, but it's not the Bible. I wait and see what happens to me on the day.

The best art always comes unbidden.

Be near your brothers. Not just one, but both of them.

The only truly dead are those who have been forgotten.

You never know when I might decide to work in a Bollywood film and do one of those dance numbers with the whole crew in the backdrop.

Things are as bad as you fear they are. People are as bad as you think they are. The Universe does not care.

I have no way of knowing what you are going to feel when you look at one of my paintings; I only know what I feel.

People just try to put you in a box and I don't see myself in any particular box. I'm making my own box. There's no way I would be able to make the music I'm making without dancing.

We all sleep with the corpses of our dead lovers.

The subtle performances of the leads, the remarkable Irrfan Khan and the engaging Nimrat Kaur, make 'The Lunchbox' a pleasure to watch.

I've always been interested in people who aren't from anywhere in particular. I think it's all melting. This has been true for as long as I can remember in my adult life.
