I was never really interested in studies and was hot-headed and rebellious in college, as I was totally confused and insecure but was not coming to terms with it.

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.

[In the Universe it may be that] Primitive life is very common and intelligent life is fairly rare. Some would say it has yet to occur on Earth.

Loneliness isn't a disease, it is only a moment to learn something better

If you don't care for obscenity, you don't care for the truth.

Whenever I start to really think about what I'm playing, I may play it better musically, but the feeling isn't there.

I want to put some effort into a bunch of different types of videos. I don't think I'm gonna do 'Man On The Street' messing with people, I don't think I'm gonna do over-the-top wacky comedy.

It is a rare photographer who can take a detached, cold-blooded view of his work.

I like loving. I like mostly all the ways one can have of having loving feelings in them. Slowly it has come to be in me that any way of being a loving one is interesting and not unpleasant to me.

Hard words are for fools and cowards.

If I were to be really petulant, I would say New York is the one doing the betraying. Because the New York I fell in love with doesn't really exist anymore.

I had learned something of Miami from people who had visited there, so I knew what to expect.
