I tried to dance in my earlier films, but it was more like struggling to stay afloat once you are thrown into the water.

Just be yourself. Be honest, work towards a goal, and you'll achieve it.

I think it is rather 'unsexy' to go under the knife and modify your appearance.

Boldness, sensuality and an unapologetic way of showing things, that is part of my films.

I watch a romcom only when my wife drags me

I feel I should never do passive characters. They don't work for me.

My victory is when the audience buys a ticket to watch my film. I am extremely thrilled when they give it a thumbs-up.

I respect the Bible and offer namaz regularly. But I am ritualistic only up to a certain extent. I believe only in those rituals that I can understand and connect with, and conduct them my own way.

I'm not meant to run around trees. I can't throw my arms in the air and sing, I find that boring and irritating. Sweet romcoms are not my cup of tea. The film has to be a little twisted and quirky.

It is fun to see girls going mad about me or dancing around to get one glimpse of me. These are major perks of being an actor. But you need to be cautious and respectful.

If I am told to be at a shoot at 10 A.M., I am ready on time. By 11:30, I lose my patience. After that, I keep threatening to leave the sets if they don't begin soon. It works sometimes.

There are certainly a good number of alternatives to "shit, " if you have a particular need to express such a feeling.

Worship is not just what we do with our lips

Even if one tree falls down it wouldn't affect the entire forest.

I'm okay, you're okay. Now let's go to work.

I have a nice home, the office is close by, and the pay is good.

Poverty palls the most generous spirits; it cows industry, and casts resolution itself into despair.

Maybe that's what love is, I thought: it's being pissed off.

On my own account I certainly wouldn't have become the director of a couture house. I didn't have sufficient admiration for fashion as such to have done so.

May you grow to be proud, dignified, and true, and do unto others as you'd have done to you.

Rage is essentially vulgar.
