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.

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.

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.

I burned down my backyard as a seven-year-old. I poured kerosene over dried leaves and set the whole place on fire, just for fun. Yeah, not a very normal thing to do.

In life, friends become family, sometimes they become enemy and enemy becomes motivation.

Truth is not a virtue, but a passion. It is never charitable.

I'm horrible at auditions anyway. Maybe that's why I never got anything.

Do not go gentle into the good night. Old age should burn and rage at close of day.

You may never know when things start to go bad, but when things are worse you know it.

Live in such a way that people who know you but don't know Christ will want to know Christ because of you.

The one significant change is in fact the second significant change

I became a writer because I am the youngest of six children. I listen; I observe. I'm camouflaged as a moth. Mothers are unseen. It helps me write.

Do the emotional labor of working on things that others fear.

Poetry is a succession of questions which the poet constantly poses.
